The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called on Nigerians to prioritize mercy, compassion, justice, and peaceful coexistence during the celebration of Eid-el-Maulud. The CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, emphasized the importance of these values as the Prophet’s birth provided an opportunity for Muslims and Nigerians to reflect and act upon them.
Archbishop Okoh noted that Nigerians were tired of empty promises and called for visible action from the Federal Government and other leaders, including greater security, economic relief, and leadership that focuses on the welfare of citizens. He also urged politicians not to exploit religious or ethnic differences for political gain ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The CAN president expressed hope for Nigeria's future, but stressed that this hope needed to be backed by responsible leadership, good citizenship, and justice. He wished Muslims an "Eid-el-Maulud Mubarak" and prayed for God's blessings upon Nigeria.
