2019 Election: CAN declares 3-day praise worship for free, fair credible poll
The leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has declared 18-20 November as days of non- stop praise to God for a free, fair and credible poll in the 2019 general election and other problems facing the country.
The “72 hours Praise and Worship” which is to be organized in all churches nationwide between 18th – 20th November, is from 7:00 am on the 18th – 6:00 pm 20th November, is said to be a pointer to victory over economic and other social problems in the country.
In a statement released by the association on Sunday by pastor Adebayo Oladeji, special assistant to the media and Communications to the CAN President, Rev. Dr. Samson Ayodele, “the Program is to celebrate the envisaged victory Nigeria is going to experience over economic, security challenges, social, religious and political problems we are facing as a Nation”.
CAN, through the Acting General Secretary, Barrister Joseph Daramola, asked all bloc leaders and their Secretaries, all Zonal chairmen, all State Chairmen and all denominational leaders to organize their church members in non-stop praise of God’s majesty over the victory he has given us in Nigeria on all our challenges, especially His intervention over the coming general election.
“Having noted various challenges the country is going through, the CAN Leadership considered the need for us to organize a strategic three days of non-stop praise over them in the country as was done in the Bible in 2 Chronicles Chapter 20, especially for the forthcoming 2019 elections with a view to stopping a crisis-ridden election that will not be free, fair and credible.
“The praise is also about the victory we believe God has given the Church in Nigeria over all powers of darkness that want to engulf the Church in whatever guise.
We should praise God that bloodshed will be no more in Nigeria. A bad leader will not be elected as our President in 2019. All human efforts to manipulate elections will fail and Leah Sharibu and all those in captivity will be released”, the statement said.
The association directed all churches in the country to participate in the program to usher the country into a new era of peace, unity, safety and all round prosperity.
