ELECTION 2019: CAN Urge Nigerians To Vote Political Party That Will Promote Democracy, Justice, Equity And Fairness For All

The general secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev Musa Asake, has called on Nigerians of voting age to ensure they obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in readiness for the 2019 general elections to vote for candidates of their choice, NAN reports. 

He made the comments at a news conference at the association’s secretariat on Friday, April 27, in Abuja. 

“Nigerians must vote into power a political party that will promote democracy, which translates to justice, equity and fairness for all. “If Christians are waiting for CAN to direct us to a particular party, we cannot pin point a party for anybody, it will not happen. 

“All we are saying is, get your voter card, go out and vote the person you think can deliver when the day comes. 

“Let us consult and find out the political parties that are there, read their ideologies and everything,’’ he said. 

The general secretary general called on all Christian assemblies, within and outside Nigeria, to observe a Sunday of mourning with a peaceful protest on April 29. 

He noted that the protest was going to be within the neighborhood, on the killings and to demand for the remaining Chibok girls and Leah Sharibu’s release.

 “The protest we are talking about is not that you go about and begin to destroy things; but when you raise your placards in front of your Church, that is okay.”
