What will happen if Buhari fails to rejig leadership of security agencies – CAN

The leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has condemned in strong terms the incessant killings in the country.

It stated that killings across Nigeria will continue if President Muhammadu Buhari fails to reorganise the security agencies.

The is contained in a statement by Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, spokesman to CAN president, Rev Dr Samson Olasupo Ayokunle.

The body, in its meeting yesterday, commiserated with the victims and the bereaved in all the killings going on in the country especially in Benue, Taraba, Adamawa and Zamfara States.

CAN reiterated its opposition to the “composition of the National Security Council which skewed in favour of one religion and a part of the country”.

“Ours is a multi-ethnic and multi- religious state and we call on President Muhammadu Buhari to respect the Federal Character Commission Act in all his appointments and policies.

“We call on President Buhari to reorganise the entire security agencies with a view to injecting new officers with new visions and ideas that can restore sanity to all the trouble spots in the country.

“Every Christian that is of voting age should register for the forth coming general election.

“The Independence National Electoral Commission (INEC) should stop the underage registration that characterises the ongoing registration of voters in some parts of the country;

“CAN appeals to its members not to be intimidated or discouraged by the frustration associated with the registration exercise but to ensure that they all secure their Permanent Voters Card (PVC).

“We urge our members to participate in the political process in the country as the need arises with a view to having the right people at the right places of governance,” he said.
