Lokoja, Nov. 10, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Kogi, has urged Government at all levels to consider the plight of the people, and return to the drawing board to practically alleviate their suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr John Ibenu, the state’s CAN Chairman, made the call at the Plenary Session, held at CAN Secretariat in Lokoja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ibenu, government at all levels must consider the plight of the people, return to the drawing board and propose activities that will alleviate the suffering of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged Christians to continue to preach love, unity, peaceful coexistence and the salvation that came through the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”I wish to also urge us all to intensify our prayers for the government, the land and the church for unity, peace and progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Those who truly pray will not support any form of lawlessness”, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ibenu further urged the public to beware of the traps and menace of fake news on the social media that sought to turn us against each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stressed that Christians are children of the Truth and Light, and should not accept, forward or spread any news they have not verified to be the true position, saying, ”the lies today look appealing and sweet”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Evidence of maturity is that you hear and get all sides before you judge or conclude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Let us defend the interest of Christianity, the Leadership and mobilise our members to what will advance our course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
