CAN President Warns Against Dragging Jesus Christ Into Political Debates
The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has cautioned politicians and their supporters against invoking the name of Jesus Christ in political debates, stressing that Christ should not be used to promote or defend any politician.
The CAN President made the remarks while addressing the growing political loyalty surrounding figures such as Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu, warning Christians against elevating politicians to a position that belongs to God.
“Jesus Christ is not a political candidate, a campaign slogan or a weapon to advance one politician against another. His name is sacred and should not be dragged into partisan contests in ways that elevate human beings, however popular or admired, to a place that belongs to God alone.”
He stressed that Nigerians are free to support or criticise any political candidate, but political loyalty should not override reverence for Christ.
“No politician is the Messiah. No political party represents the salvation of the human spirit that Christ epitomises. And no electoral victory is worth compromising the honour due to His name.”

“I’m not saying allow them to suffer, what I’m saying is allow them to struggle. Go through the process.When you keep the things that you have and let them know that, ‘You go get yours, this is mine.’ But when you pamper them, they don’t come out to be anything.”
