The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has disowned the remarks by the Chairman of its Lagos State Chapter, Reverend Stephen Adegbite, where he shows support for the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket adopted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Bola Ahmad Tinubu.

Adegbite had on Sunday, declared support of the chapter for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He had said that not supporting Tinubu would incur God's wrath because of Tinubu's contribution to Christians in the state.

He spoke at an event organised by the wife of the APC presidential candidate, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

Adegbite said Tinubu's support over the years for Christians, was not only in Lagos State, but the entire southwest region.

His statement contradicate the position of the national body of CAN which frowned at the Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by the APC in its bid for the 2023 presidential election.

But a source within CAN, told Daily Sun that Adegbite has been directed by the national body to issue a statement clarifying that Hsi statement had nothing to do with CAN.

“The position of CAN has not changed on Muslim-Muslim ticket. Adegbite has been directed to issue a statement to clarify that it is his position and not CAN,” the source said.
