(NIGERIA) The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, on Wednesday said that the 2015 general election will be free and fair.
The CAN president said in a statement he issued in Abuja that Nigerians must learn to support their leaders in prayers and physical support in this New Year and above all things.
He said, “We must all exhibit love and sacrifice for ourselves and our nation in our collective quest of a better Nigeria beginning from 2015.
“Many have alluded to the fact that the 2015 general election would throw Nigeria into chaos but as a man of faith I see the election as Nigeria’s turning point.
“Leaders must be wise and courageous in their decisions in this coming year because as it has already been known the challenges are becoming multifaceted from insecurity to crashing oil prices and many others.
“But I see a lot of positives and opportunities in the midst of these challenges and that is what I want Nigerians to absorb in their hearts, the year 2015 may seem quite challenging for Nigeria, but it is one that equally holds a lot of hope and promise that could lead to the fulfillment that we have all yearned for.
“So I disagree with the wide spread projections about 2015 whether in terms of security, infrastructure, politics and the economy, man is not God, I believe that 2015 might just be that year in which Nigeria’s socio-economic revolution will be actualized.
“I reserve special accolade for gallant men and women in the battle ground, may their efforts to secure a one, united and peaceful nation never be in vain. For our youths, women, the aged and all Nigerians, I wish them well in this New Year and pray that Almighty God grant our individual and collective desires as we enter the New Year.
“Fellow Nigerians. It gives me great pleasure and joy to extend my warmest regards to you all. We have come to the end of another eventful year that truly tested our strengths and weaknesses, measures our faith in God and stretched our limits beyond what we all could have imagined.
“Despite the daunting challenges, we were able to weather the storm and have emerged even stronger and can be counted among people of strong character and unwavering faith.”
