The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has disowned Archbishop Chivir Chianson and his group, emphasizing that neither has any authority or mandate to represent the association. CAN President Archbishop Daniel Okoh clarified this in a statement, warning that any political positions or activities attributed to Chianson or his group should not be mistaken for the official stance of CAN.
The association reaffirmed its political neutrality, warning of attempts by unauthorized individuals to misuse its name and identity for political or personal gain, especially in the run-up to the 2027 general elections. CAN emphasized its responsibility to protect Christian interests and contribute to national development, and urged the public and media to verify the credentials and affiliations of anyone claiming official CAN representation.
