The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has said it was not part of the unveiling of the All Progressives Congress vice presidential candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima, challenging the ruling party to mention CAN officials who attended the event.
Adebayo Oladeji, Special Assistant on Media and Communication to the President of CAN, Samson Ayokunle, stated this while reacting to the presence of some bishops at Shettima’s unveiling ceremony at the Shehu Yar’adua Center in Abuja.
KEMI FILANI NEWS had earlier reported that the Vice President of CAN (19 Northern States and Abuja), Rev. Joseph John Hayab, dissociated the organisation from the visit.
In a short reaction sent to journalists, Adebayo said, “Let them name the CAN officials at the programme and their offices. If they could use 2017 photos to claim that some Pastors visited Shettima and lied that Pastor E. A Adeboye has endorsed them; they could do anything.

“Our position on Muslim-Muslim ticket is irreversible. Anybody can claim anything but one thing is clear, CAN was not part of the unveiling programme of Shettima.”
