The Christian Association of Nigeria has called on President Bola Tinubu and the governors to lead the country with compassion and transparency. The Christian group also urged Nigerians to embrace faith and unity for the nation’s renewal.

In his New Year message, CAN president Archbishop Daniel Okoh reflected on the challenges faced in 2024, including economic difficulties and security concerns, while acknowledging God’s sustaining grace.

The CAN leader also appealed to leaders to prioritise transparency and compassion in governance while fostering inclusivity.

“We call on those in governance to lead with compassion, transparency, and accountability.

“Let decisions be made with the welfare of the people in mind, ensuring that no Nigerian is left behind in the pursuit of a prosperous nation,” he said.

Mr Okoh also stated that with collective faith and commitment, he believed 2025 could be a transformative year for Nigeria.

He encouraged all Nigerians to return to God, stating that peace and progress are achievable through divine guidance.

“In spite of the many difficulties we faced in 2024, including economic challenges and insecurity, we have witnessed God’s grace sustaining us as a nation.

“His mercy has brought us this far, and we trust that He will continue to guide us through the trials ahead. As we look ahead to 2025, we urge all Nigerians to return to God and serve Him faithfully,” Mr Okoh added.
