Archbishop Daniel Okoh, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged Nigerians not to lose hope due to challenges, stating that God has not forsaken the nation.
The CAN president noted that the story of Christmas depicted Gods intervention in helpless situations that afflicted mankind, therefore, as a people, Nigerians should not lose hope.
In a Christmas message yesterday in Lagos, Okoh said the mystery of the birth of Jesus Christ as a Messiah came in handy now that the nation is on the verge of transition to new leadership that would pacify the people from anxieties.
According to him, the 2022 Christmas celebration amidst uncertainty in the face of challenges can be likened to the sufferings of the Israelites as a result of the disobedience of their leaders to forsake God because of material things.
The CAN president appealed to Nigerians not to allow the fear of insecurity in the land to hinder them from coming out en masse during the forthcoming general elections to vote for credible candidates of their choice.
He prayed for Gods protection of all Nigerians.
