Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) says despite challenges, the new year will likely be the year of divine turnaround in the fortunes of the country.
In his new year message to Nigerians, CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, urged Nigerians not to misuse the opportunity offered by the next election to choose leaders with focus and compassion.
He said: “Amid these challenges, 2023 is a year of golden opportunities for us a people. I pray that Nigerians will not miss or misuse the opportunity to choose leaders with focus and compassion who will lead our country to greatness.”
He appealed to security agencies not to relent in their efforts to ensure safety and security, including ensuring the conduct of peaceful general elections in 2023.
He assured that CAN would continue to collaborate with the government, civil societies and development partners to build a peaceful and prosperous country.
He added, “Finally, we urge the government to do more to stop the downward trend of our economy by checking the sources of leakages and wastage of our national resources in 2023.”
Okoh lamented that the out gone year 2022 was one filled with anxiety and apprehension as a result of the seeming unabated climate of fear and uncertainty not just in Nigeria, but across the world.
