CAN To Buhari At Easter: We Are Waiting For Your Promise To Protect All Nigerians

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN has thanked President Muhammadu Buhari on his promise to ensure the security of all Nigerians irrespective of tribe and religion saying that it is looking forward to him fulfilling his promise as soon as possible.

The national president of the Christian group, Rev. Samson Ayokunle who made the call in his Easter message said the celebration of the festivity is a remembrance of the greatest event in the history of mankind.

“The essence of Easter is unquestionable and indisputable. The arrest, trial, crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the greatest event in human history.

“It is this costly work of redemption on the cross – bearing the curse and death of mankind as a result of sin – that brought man the most powerful experience of spiritual rebirth, the uncommon grace to share eternal life of God. Jesus is thus the eternal ransom, an innocent Lamb of God that took the place of man in eternal condemnation. May His name be glorified forever, Amen.  
“The celebration of Easter is important to Christians because it reminds us that somebody died or sacrificed Himself so that others might live. It calls our attention to the fact that we can be betrayed, denied or abandoned by those that are close to us. It reminds us that our prayers are answered when God does His will in our lives. 
Against the background of the president’s promise to secure the nation, CAN tasked him:

“We thank Mr. President for assuring the nation and its citizens of his commitment to the provision of security for all, irrespective of tribe, religion or political divide. We want to see in no distant time, that this noble promise is translated into action in the most patriotic way.” 

While urging Christians and non-Christians alike to pursue peace at this time, he called on the Federal Government to secure the land from the rule of banditry.
“The Federal Government is further called upon to secure the nation for the purposes of safety of lives, property and free movement of people. Kidnapping, increasing wave of armed robbery and resurgence of insurgency coupled with relentless attacks by ethnic militia men are a great concern for patriotic Nigerians and an embarrassment to the nation. These issues should be addressed squarely, promptly and fairly.
