Hardship: CAN advises against planned protest

Kaduna State chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Rev. Ma’aji Caleb, has warned Christians in the state to distance themselves from any planned protest against the government of President Bola Tinubu.
He said, “Instead as Christians, our obligation is to pray, obey and support those in authority for the peaceful coexistence and progress of the country.”
Speaking with TVN in Kaduna on Thursday, the state chairman noted, “It is true that we have found ourselves in a very difficult and challenging time in all spheres of life, but we should not lose hope, ours is to unite and work together as a family to be able to overcome any challenge we may face as a nation, by the grace of the Almighty, we shall surely be victorious.”
On the part of those in leadership positions at all levels of governance, he advised that they should be prudent in all their dealings and ensure that justice was seen to be done in dealing with all Nigerians.
As Christians, he advised, “We should not lose focus but we should be supportive to government policies and pray for them for God’s wisdom and guidance as they pilot the affairs of the country in the right way.”
To those planning the protest, he noted that “nobody knows what they intend to achieve and their purpose”, stressing that “the previous protests in the country did not do any good but led to the loss of lives, maiming of innocent people and destruction of valuables that the nation and some people are yet to recover from.”
