President Bola Tinubu met with the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa on Monday, January 22.
News Direct reports that the president met with the leadership of the Christian body led by its President, Daniel Okoh.
This is the first meeting of the year between the president and the Christian organization and it comes after Tinubu met with members of the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN) at the State House in Abuja.
This meeting comes just two days after SCSN’s President, Sheikh Abdur-Rasheed Hadiyyatullah, publicly expressed regret for supporting the APC’s same-faith ticket in the 2023 election.
Recall that Sheikh Hadiyyatullah had sparked a fresh debate about the Muslim-Muslim ticket of ruling party in the last election. In an interview with journalists in Abuja, he stated that the same-faith ticket, which played a pivotal role in President Tinubu’s election victory, has not led to any positive changes in the lives of Nigerians.
