Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has suspended the nationwide protest that was earlier scheduled for July 11.
CAN president, Rev Samson Ayokunle Olasupo, had in a statement on Thursday, mobilised Christians to a peaceful protest nationwide on the said date, to register their discontent with the state of the country, particularly as regards the inability of the government to provide solution to insecurity.
In the same statement, Olasupo had proposed that July 9-11, be declared a National Day of prayer and fasting against the activities of suspected herdsmen which has led to many deaths and destruction of property.
The umbrella body of Christians in Nigeria, said it was worried, disturbed and disappointed that despite public outcry for the overhaul of the security architecture and the possible replacement of the Service Chiefs, President Muhammadu Buhari has consistently turned a “deaf ear” to such calls.
It had also encouraged the participation of CAN National Executive Committee (NEC) members, the Church and denominational leaders in the peaceful protest.
But barely 24 hours after the directive, CAN president, in a statement by his media aide, Pastor Bayo Oladeji, announced the suspension of the exercise due to some circumstances, it said, was beyond its control.
He, however said that the 3-day prayer and fasting will still hold as scheduled in all churches and state chapters of CAN.https://leadership.ng/2018/07/07/can-suspends-nationwide-protest-after-meeting-with-pmb/

Pls am not under any CAN or whether na can
am a Christian on my own. on the day of judgment everyone is answerable to his own deeds
no CAN in heaven

CAN of worms is worse than the police with regards to collecting roger.
Too bad gullible Christians look up to them for direction.

Tell the CAN president that I said him and his family should fast on my behalf.

They are all thieves!

While the muslim jihadist are cunningly taking over nigeria starting from the middle belt the christians and their leaders were sighted fasting and praying.
