Here is a press statement released Evangelist( Barr.) Kwamkur Samuel, the Director of Legal and Public Affairs, CAN in regards to the President’s health. Read the statement below…

“The Christians Association of Nigeria (CAN) is deeply concerned about the ongoing national conversation on the absence of the President due to ill- health. We wish to call on all Nigerians to join hands in prayers for the quick and full recovery of Mr. President and his safe return to Nigeria instead of dwelling on the needless rumour mongering on the President’s health.

“President Muhammadu Buhari is human, hence subject to health challenges sometimes. CAN appreciates the anxiety of Nigerians to hear Mr. President speak, but  sues  for understanding as we await that. It is very clear that our leader is passing through health challenges.

“We advise the Presidency  to update Nigerians on how he is fairing and the full progress of his recovery.

“We call on all Christians and indeed all God-fearing Nigerians to dedicate time of prayers for our President and the nation. We owe our leaders prayers and support at all times while shunning divisive opinions that only generate strive.

“CAN also call on Nigerians to give the Vice President who is also the Acting President full support and prayers to lead well.

“We acknowledge that government is a continuum, hence, we call on Acting President, Prof.  Yemi Osinbajo to be bold in handling critical State matters and not to be distracted those who do not wish Nigeria well.

“God bless Nigeria!
