We won’t Keep Mum Until You Rise Up to Your Responsibilities, CAN to FG

The President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has said the umbrella body of the Nigerian Christian will not keep mum until the Federal Government rise up to challenges of ending insurgency across the country.

President, Christian Association of Nigeria, Dr Olasupo Ayokunle, has said the body will not keep quiet against the killings of Christians in the country until such wicked acts stop.

According to him, the Federal Government must provide adequate security to tackle the spate of insecurity in the country.

Ayokunle who spoke at the 12th annual lecture and awards of the Bible Society of Nigeria, said but for the sustained pressure of the association on government, recent moves by the state to address insecurity would have not been made possible.

“The government must rise up to its responsibilities. All our money is with the government, the entire commonwealth of the nation. So they have the duty to make sure that they provide security. I will not keep quiet until I see that this is done.

“To overcome insurgency, there is the need for the words of God to be in the hand of every Nigerian. The fact that not everybody has the knowledge of God is the reason the country is battling with insurgency.”

He said if the youth were equipped with the word of God, it would minister to their hearts.

At the event, the BSN presented awards to the CAN president, founder, Centre for Value in Leadership, Prof Pat Utomi; Chairman, GTBank Plc, Mrs. Osaretin Demuren; and General Manager, Avein Offshore Limited, Joseph Duntoye.
