"This same ex-President of CAN had earlier expressed his disdain and had sworn that no member of the Pentecostals and white garment churches would be President of CAN.
The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has reacted to the statement credited to the former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai over the controversial Muslim-Muslim ticket.
The church said the fact that its former Prelate and ex-President of CAN, Dr. Sunday Mbang, hosted a meeting to review the last election which Ayokunle won did not mean it had withdrawn support for the CAN president-elect.
If, however, CAN still feels strongly about the judgement, let them follow the commendable example of the Muslims of Lagos State by following the path of law."
"Nigeria needs to turn the corner to grow, and we must give people challenges they can manage, and that is what we are doing," the President firmly stated.
