State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has
Its Chairman, Mathias
Echioda, also commended the president’s resoluteness that the country’s unity
was not negotiable.
“Buhari’s address to Nigerians was a move in the right direction.
“Buhari’s statement is a
clear call to all sectional patriots and hate champions of our dear country to
put away their swords. We are better together as a nation.
“We don’t only welcome
Buhari home we congratulate him for such a bold step this morning,” he said.
Echioda said that the
state chapter of CAN was in support of Buhari’s leadership and fight against
corruption and other forms of social menace.
“As CAN in Niger State we are genuinely behind him in his fight against the
social menace.
“This makes us as
Nigerians to believe in the leadership style of Mr. President because the
statement clearly shows that he is anti-corruption, insecurity and
sectionalism,” he said.
The CAN chairman urged all
Nigerians to continue to support the federal government’s efforts in sanitising
the country.
