 Don’t allow politicians separate you – Wike tells Rivers CAN

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyeson Wike has called on the leadership and members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the state to shun the divisive tendencies of vote-seeking and desperate politicians.  THE NATION reports.Information Guide Nigeria
Wike spoke during an interactive session with the leadership and critical stakeholders of the Rivers State chapter of CAN at the Banquet Hall of Government House in Port Harcourt on Tuesday night.

The Governor described the 18th March election as a state-level exercise with all candidates contesting various positions, particularly for the governorship as Christians.

He said it was not healthy for any candidate to be allowed to approach any constituent of CAN to demand endorsement insisting that such action could create a division within the association and undermine the state.NYSC Portal

He said: “Nobody can say that through this election, I called him or her and said, look, this is where you will go to. Nobody can also say that you came to me, see what the church has decided to do.

“Now we are going for a local election, not a national election. Why will people begin to bring CAN into it, which we have never done before? CAN Rivers State has always been one? You, going to take one of the families to say endorse this person, you’re killing CAN because this State is a Christian State.

“What I don’t like is politicians using the church because they want to benefit at that time. After that time, what happens? Do you listen to the church again?

“You don’t listen to the church. If, as politicians who are Christians, will listen to the church, the church will not be where and how it is today. The church would have grown stronger.”JAMB Result
