CAN also advised government not to gag the people or see those who speak about its failures as enemies to be intimidated, hounded down

CAN President, Rev. Dr. Samson Olasupo Ayokunle, said this in a statement titled, ‘Political Leaders Should Learn to Tolerate Citizens’ Criticism of Policies and Programmes of Government.’

The statement read in part, “We congratulate Nigerians in advance as we are enthusiastically looking forward to the independence anniversary of our dear country. “We note that today, our country faces myriads of challenges that pose existential threats to its unity, peace and progress, especially the unfortunate issue of national security and the leadership has been trying to find a lasting solution. We pray to God to grant us that victory that many Nigerians are desperately yearning for in Jesus’ name.

“On the heightened situation in the country with its attendant fear and tension, the Christian Association of Nigeria hereby admonishes those in political leadership of the nation to exercise caution in the way they treat observations of people and comments so as not to further plunge the nation into unnecessary crisis.

“We urge Nigerians to be modest and factual in their comments and respect those who are leading us by giving honour to whom honour is due; however, that does not erode their rights and freedom of expression by speaking the truth always to those they elected into power without fear.
