CAN's President Okoh to Criticize Government Failures

Archbishop Daniel Okoh, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), declared that the association will not hesitate to criticize the Federal Government when it fails to protect citizens or violates their rights. Speaking at a press conference in Abuja to commemorate CAN's 50th anniversary, Okoh emphasized that the organization is not a political opposition party but a Christian institution with a national responsibility.

He stated that CAN would support government policies that promote the welfare of Nigerians while also being vocal against injustice and insecurity. Okoh warned that the association would raise its voice against any threats to citizens' constitutional rights.

He reiterated CAN's commitment to truth and moral responsibility, stating that their loyalty cannot be compromised by political proximity. Additionally, he called on the Federal Government to intensify efforts to combat insecurity, highlighting ongoing issues such as terrorism, banditry, and communal violence affecting Nigerian communities.
