Nigerians will be more patriotic –Adebayo

Adebayo of SDP said he will get Nigerians to be more patriotic and allow everyone to worship God peacefully.

“We believed in moving the country forward. The problems still fall back on the leadership of the country.

“So, to solve our problem, the leaders must be truthful and just. In this country, truth is an offence. If a leader is truthful, nobody will remember his religion or party.

“The church is to participate in politics. But don’t do it the way the politicians do it. Teach us the good way to do politics,” Adebayo said, adding that he will address poverty.

We won’t be partisan – CAN president

The CAN president, Archbishop Daniel Okoh in his remarks, said that CAN is very careful not to be partisan and it still maintains that position.

“All the positions we have taken, we have not changed any of them, if we want to change any position, we will let the Nigerian public know. When people read insinuations on social media, I will advise that people should come to CAN to verify and to be sure that what you see out there is truly the position of the Christian Association of Nigeria,” he said.

He also said that the idea of the interaction was to come together to review the understanding of the Nigerian crisis of development and governance and collectively find a lasting solution.

“As an association of Christian citizens who believe in this country and continue to pray for its unity, peace, and prosperity, we have spent time to review the problems that hinder peace and progress in the country and are hereby making suggestions on how best to improve them.

“We have consulted with Nigerians of diverse religious, ethnic and social identities on the problems of the country and the solutions to them have been articulated in the strategic document we call, the Charter for Future Nigeria.

“The Charter for Future Nigeria begins with a diagnosis of Nigeria’s problem and locates it primarily in an incoherent constitutional and institutional framework that defines governance and social and economic interactions in Nigeria,” he said.
