The chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Lagos State, Stephen Adegbite, has said that he endorsed the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the 2023 election, Bola Tinubu, in his capacity and never on behalf of the Christian Umbrella body.
“Dearly beloved, it’s quite possible that you have read a story published by Blueprint Newspaper, a national daily, where the Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Lagos State, Rt. Rev. Dr. S.T.V Adegbite, was quoted as saying ‘God’ll punish us if we don’t support Tinubu – Lagos CAN.’ “As a trained journalist, the first thing I did was to look at the by-line and in doing so, I realised the story was lifted from an online media platform called Trek Africa Media. So it wasn’t a report that came from Blueprint Newspaper, but one they published with some recklessness.
According to Daramola, the Bishop went down memory lane at a programme organised for Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the federal lawmaker representing Lagos Central Senatorial District, somewhere in Lagos over the weekend and while reminiscing, he spoke about how his personal relationship with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has grown over the last 23 years and what the former Lagos State Governor has done for Christianity in Lagos State.
