  "summary": "The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Archbishop Daniel Okoh, has warned that the organization will criticize the Federal Government if it fails to protect citizens or violates their rights. Speaking at the association's 50th anniversary press conference, Okoh emphasized that CAN is a Christian institution with a national responsibility, not a political opposition party or a praise-singing organization. He stressed that the association would engage with the government constructively while maintaining its independence and moral responsibility to speak against injustice, insecurity, and policies that undermine the welfare of Nigerians.",
