The Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) said in order to ensure balance and to promote equity, unity and peace in Nigeria, the rotation of the office of the President is necessary.

YOWICAN on Saturday said the next President should be a Christian for complete balance in leadership.

The youths call for the end to the prevalent banditry and kidnappings ravaging various regions of the country.

The Christian association further pledged full collaboration with Muslims and all Nigeria Inter-religious Council (NIREC) towards peacebuilding.

The NEC meeting which was held at the National Christian Centre on Saturday was attended by National Executive Members, Zonal Leaders, State Leaders (drawn from the 36 States of the Federation plus the FCT) and representatives from the Blocs/denominations under CAN.

At the end of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, YOWICAN released a communique which was read to newsmen by the National Chairman of the association, Belusochukwu Enwere.

The communique reads “The next President come 2023 should be a Christian because the present administration, the president is a Muslim and so the President should rotate amongst the Christians and Muslims so that there will be balance in the leadership of Nigeria.

“We have competent Christian leaders who can represent and manage the affairs of this country. We urge our leaders to fully participate in politics so that we can produce a good president for Nigeria.

“That YOWICAN shall continue to collaborate and work in concert with brothers from the Muslim faith to pursue the desired peace, unity and progress of the nation; and more particularly under the auspices of the Nigeria Inter-religious Council (NIREC).”

The CAN youths demanded the immediate release of all abductees and particularly the students of the Bethel Baptist High School Kaduna State, who have been in captivity.
