There is already tension in the land because of insecurity.<\/p>\n<div>\u201cWe equally want to urge you on the presidency that a balance of both religious practitioners be considered. We don\u2019t want Christian\/Christian ticket nor Muslim\/Muslim ticket\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further, Dr Ayokunle expressed dissatisfaction and disappointment with the menace of the economic downturn and its consequences on the polity and called for an enabling environment to cushion the effects on the people.<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201csir, the church is worried about inflation in the land which has sent many people out of business. Unemployment is at an unimaginable level. While we appreciate the efforts of the legislative assemblies in calling the attention of the executive to this, more robust and daring efforts are required to nip these things in the bud. Enabling environment should be created for investments and incentives or tax exemptions given to local manufacturers on some goods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CAN President who commended the Federal Government on the management of the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic also warned against forcing the people to take the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cWe appreciate the Federal Government, especially the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 for the way this stubborn virus has been managed. We want to urge the government to continue to encourage Nigerians to take the vaccine but never to force or coerce people into doing so\u201d, he noted.<\/p>\n<p>In his response, Deputy Senate President Senator Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege appreciated CAN for the visit and called for more of such interaction with a view to bridging the gap between the National Assembly and CAN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has cautioned the political parties in the country against heating up the polity with either Christian\/Christian ticket or Muslim\/Muslim presidential ticket&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":80842,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
