The national leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), in a recent statement, has advised Nigerians to refrain from bringing Jesus Christ into political discourse ahead of the 2027 elections. Archbishop Daniel Okoh, the President of CAN, emphasized that while political debates can be fervent, invoking the name of Jesus Christ in a political context is inappropriate.
They stressed that Jesus Christ is not a political figure or a tool for one candidate against another, but rather a figure of profound reverence. CAN urged all Nigerians, particularly Christians, to maintain respect and responsibility in their political conversations, ensuring that no politician's character or actions are diminished in the pursuit of electoral victory.
