CAN Meets With Elrufai
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) had advised Kaduna state Governor Nasir El-Rufai to channel his energy to combating security challenges plaguing the state rather than on preaching and praying. According to CAN, the state is currently bedeviled with kidnappings of people on the highway, in their farms and homes and other forms of insecurity yet the governor was more concerned about regulating religious activities.
Rivers Is a Christian State- Wike
Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, says the state is “Christian state and cannot be touched by anyone”. Nigeria is a secular nation, according to the constitution.
But speaking during a crusade organised by the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Church in Port Harcourt, the state capital, the governor said God heard the prayers of the Christian community in the state and the people prevailed against “forces”. He had said it was God’s intervention that ensured his victory in the March governorship election. The governor said his administration would continue to support and partner with the church.
