As Nigeria celebrates 25 years of uninterrupted democracy, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) warns leaders they will be held accountable for their actions.
In a statement signed by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, CAN acknowledged the country’s democratic journey but emphasized that the government still faces significant challenges.
“Insecurity, economic hardship, and social injustice continue to afflict our citizens. We urge the government to prioritize the common good, address these pressing issues, and ensure that our democracy serves the people, not just the interests of a few,” the statement said.
The statement also stressed the importance of unity and inclusivity, valuing Nigeria’s diverse backgrounds.
“We emphasize the importance of integrity, transparency, and accountability in governance. Our leaders must recognize that power is a sacred trust, and they will be held accountable for their actions,” the CAN president added.
CAN called on leaders to work together to build a stronger, more just Nigeria where everyone has a voice and equal opportunities.
