The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has congratulated the new President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as he assumes office, saying his inauguration is a new chapter for Nigeria.
President of CAN, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, on Monday in a statement he personally signed said that the swearing-in of Tinubu was a momentous occasion for Nigeria, and that Nigerian Christians wished him well as he took on the responsibilities of leading the nation.
He said, “Nigeria is facing a number of challenges that require strong and decisive leadership. From security concerns to economic struggles, it is clear that there is much work to be done in order to ensure that Nigeria can reach its full potential.
“We urge President Tinubu to prioritize these issues and to work tirelessly to find lasting solutions that will improve the livelihoods of the people of Nigeria.

“To this end, we believe that as His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu engages the active participation of all Nigerians regardless of their political, ethnic and religious leanings, Nigeria can overcome all obstacles to emerge stronger than ever.”
