CAN President, Rev. Daniel Okoh
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged President Bola Tinubu to make conscious efforts in stabilising his government by ensuring good balance in the appointment of security chiefs and other top political positions.
CAN also enjoined Tinubu to consider both religion and ethnic factors in his appointments, given the diversity of the country.
The association gave the admonition via a statement issued by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, on Tuesday, June 6.
Okoh, who congratulated Tinubu on his assumption of office as Nigeria’ President, stated: “We recognise that he is taking office at a time when virtually all sectors of the country are yearning for attention and we wish to advise the President to ensure a good balance in the appointment of Security Chiefs and other top political positions that will help stabilise his government.

“It is crucial that the appointments reflect the diversity of Nigeria, and that qualified individuals from different religious and ethnic backgrounds are given the opportunity to serve in these positions.
“CAN acknowledges the importance of these appointments in ensuring the security and well-being of Nigerians.
“We, therefore, advise President Tinubu to take a proactive stance in ensuring that the appointments reflect the diversity of Nigeria and that the best individuals are selected for these positions.
“Nigerians are looking forward to an administration that will address the injustices and unfairness of the past, and we hope that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will use the opportunity of these appointments to allay the fears of Nigerians,” the CAN President noted.
