2023: CAN cautions APC, PDP, others against same religion ticket
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has advised political parties against fielding candidates of same religion ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
In a statement on Friday in Abuja, CAN President, Samson Ayokunle, said same religion ticket of either Christian/Christian or Muslim/Muslim was capable of heating up the polity.
“There is already tension in the land because of insecurity. We equally want to advise that on presidency, a balance of religious practitioners be considered.
“We don’t want Christian/Christian ticket nor Muslim/Muslim ticket,” Mr Ayokunle said.
During the interactive session, the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, appreciated CAN’s efforts in the promotion of peace and unity across the country.
Mr Omo-Agege thanked the clergyman and called for more of such interaction, with a view to bridging the gap between the National Assembly and the Christian body.
