Daniel Okoh has been inaugurated as the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) — taking over from Samson Ayokunle.
Okoh, who is the general superintendent of Christ Holy Church International in Onitsha, was elected after getting the votes of the 259 delegates.
He was confirmed as the new president on Thursday at CAN’s 12th general assembly.
In his acceptance speech, Okoh said CAN would continue to participate in nation building.
“We are coming in at the time that all of us in the Christian faith believe that some section of political leaders are not sensitive to the diverse nature of our population when certain decisions are being made,” he said.
“Many Christians feel and have the genuine fear that there is a deliberate plan to remove the Christian faith from the scheme of things and make us second-class citizens in our own country.
There is genuine fear borne out of the recent happenings in our polity, that is, the same-faith ticket in one of the major political parties in Nigeria despite the caution raised by CAN since two years ago.
“Whatever happens, no matter how many times our sensibilities are insulted, we must resolve to make a positive impact on the political, economic and social systems of our dear nation.”
