The Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN), yesterday enjoined President Bola Tinubu not to govern the country like the immediate past government led by former president, Muhammadu Buhari.
The Christian body also warned that Nigeria under Tinubu as president will not make any meaningful progress if it fails to tackle first, the problem of insecurity in the country.
The caution by the Christian body is coming amidst the controversy surrounding the removal of oil subsidy by the Tinubu administration which has raised the price of petrol to over 300 per cent and inflicted more suffering and hardship among Nigerians
The CAN’s Vice-President, Rev. Dr. Stephen Baba-Panya spoke in Jos yesterday, on the sidelines of the installation of Rev. Ayuba Asheshe as the new General Secretary of the Evangelical Church Winning All, (ECWA), which was held at the its Headquarters in Jos, Plateau State.
According to Baba Panya, who is also the ECWA President,, the present hardship being experienced by Nigerians as a result of fuel subsidy removal would have been avoided if the Tinubu-led federal government had first addressed the problem of corruption that had trailed the implementation of the policy under the past administration.
The CAN Vice president lamented what he described as the obvious “distortions of governance” by the past administration.
He urged President Tinubu to carry every section of the country along in administering the nation, noting that is one of the ways he can right the wrongs of the past.
