CAN Calls for Calm Amid Rising Hardship on Palm Sunday
On Palm Sunday, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, representing the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), urged Nigerians to remain calm as they confront increasing economic hardships. His message, reflecting the biblical account of Jesus Christ's entry into Jerusalem, highlighted the relevance of peace and humility in today's context.
Okoh pointed out that many families are struggling with the rising cost of living, exacerbated by global developments, including tensions involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, which have impacted the global energy market. He criticized state leaders for lacking empathy and called for true leadership that prioritizes the common good.
Okoh encouraged the Nigerian church to embrace unity and mutual support, drawing inspiration from the spirit of Palm Sunday, which symbolizes hope and collective strength during challenging times. He emphasized that true leadership is demonstrated through actions that ease burdens and bring people together.
