The Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria, YOWICAN, wants the next President of the
Country to be a Christian to ensure a balance in leadership.
YOWICAN also says zonal rotation of the office of the President will promote equity, unity and peace.
YOWICAN National President, Mr. Daniel Kadzai, made this position known at the National Christian
Centre in Abuja.
The youths issued a communique at the end of their National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at the National Christian Centre in Abuja on Saturday, July 24, 2021 which was endorsed by the NEC and the National Chairman of YOWICAN. The communique reads in part:
“The emergence of a Christian as President come 2023 will be a true expression of equity and justice for Nigeria.
“Our stand is that the next president in 2023 should be a Christian because the present administration, the president is a Muslim, and so the president should rotate amongst the Christians and Muslims so that there will be balance in the leadership of Nigeria.
“We have competent Christian leaders who can represent and manage the affairs of this Country. We urge our leaders to fully participate in politics so that we can produce a good president for Nigeria.”
The group warned bandits and kidnappers to desist from perpetrating evil and put a stop to the ongoing kidnappings and killings.
The Christian association also pledged more collaboration with Muslims and Nigeria Inter-religious Council, towards peacebuilding in the Country.
