The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reiterated its call for the next president of Nigeria to come from the South.
Its president, Rev. Samson Ayokunle, who made the call yesterday, urged Nigerians, especially from the south, to produce a Christian to take over the mantle of leadership in 2023.
Ayokunle said this at the 53rd ministerial anniversary and dedication of a church auditorium of Christ Revival Church, Molete, Ibadan.
His words: “Let me urge all Christians in this auditorium and tell other Nigerians; you are crying about bad leadership in Nigeria. It’s another time for you to change the bad leaders by your votes.
“You are saying you don’t want bad leadership, especially in Nigeria, we are looking for diligent people who can direct and rule Nigeria the way the masses will appreciate better.”

According to the CAN leader, “This is another opportunity for us by your votes. Anybody who has not collected his Permanent Voters’ Card, PVC, should go and do so. If you have any problem obtaining yours, let us know.
“You can’t sit at home and want to enjoy good governance without voting for the right person. Your destiny of voting for the right leaders lies in your hands. Collect your voters’ card at the right time.
“We are over 200 million in Nigeria; Christians are 100 million, while Muslims are 100 million.
“You cannot tell me after eight years of rulership from a northern Muslim, you cannot get a competent Christian from the South out of 100 million Christians to take over for another eight years.
