President Bola Tinubu met the leaders of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) at the state house on Monday, January 22, 2024.
Following their closed-door meeting with the president, CAN leaders urged Nigerians to be patient with Tinubu’s government.
While pledging their support for his administration, the religious leaders advised Tinubu to continue the path he has taken since he assumed office in May 2023.
Addressing State House correspondents after the meeting, CAN President, Daniel Okoh said, “We see the effort he is making towards securing this nation. So we ask Nigerians… who seem to have lost hope to not lose hope, but to have patience and persevere.”
Okoh is pleased with Tinubu’s appointments, describing it as inclusive.
“Sincerely, what we found out is that the President is actually sensitive to all the challenges that we have. He’s aware, and we see him making very positive steps, even from the beginning of his administration.
“By the way he has made appointments so far, he has come with a great sense of inclusiveness. And Nigerians have a sense of belonging.
“I tell you that his pronouncements so far and his body language have increased the confidence of Nigerians and we believe that, given the chance, he will do a lot more. We are praying that the Lord will strengthen his hand to be able to do more and turn around the fortunes of this country,” he said.
The CAN leader further called for understanding from Nigerians, arguing that the country is big and its challenges predate Tinubu’s government.
