The Borno State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has debunked rumours that it has adopted the candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Speaking at the conference hall of St Patrick Catholic Cathedral on Wednesday in Maiduguri, the state CAN chairman, Most. Rev. Dr . John Bogna Bakeni, called on those propagating and peddling the rumours to desist from doing so, saying that it is a campaign of calumny against CAN.
According to Rev Bakeni: “I choose to address you this day in order to defuse and to clarify the rumour going round that the Borno State CAN has adopted the political candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the State. “It might interest you to know that there are Christians who belong to different political parties and ideologies, so for CAN to line up behind a particular candidate is to be divisive and is not part of our mandate. CAN commands respect and enjoys cordiality with the current government of Borno State and we will not want some unscrupulous people to destroy that for their selfish ends.”
