We are not under pressure to congratulate Buhari on election victory - CAN

Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) said it remained apolitical and would congratulate and rejoice with whoever wins the presidential election in the country.

Daily Trust reports that CAN made this known on Thursday, March 28, while denying being under pressure to congratulate President Buhari on his re-election.

The association president, Samson Ayokunle, in a statement, by his media aide, Bayo Oladeji, said: ''It is a normal thing for CAN to rejoice and to congratulate whoever wins the presidential poll in the country because of its political neutrality.

''We have been doing this before. We did it in 2015 and we are wondering why it has to be different this year.”

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Christian Association of Nigeria said it had not gone to Aso Rock to congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari on his re-election.

Christian body said it was waiting for the controversy surrounding the presidential election be resolved in court first before going to do so.

CAN claimed that it is under pressure to congratulate President Buhari and that the pressure has turned to subtly blackmail.

A source in CAN’s national executive body claimed the church is now being polarised. He said: “We have seen how they are polarising the church so that it cannot act as a body.
