A Christian group, Concerned Christian Forum of Nigeria (C²FN), has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Samson Olasupo Ayokunle, to resign his position.
The group, comprising of distinguished and highly-respected clergymen across the federation, expressed displeasure over the direction the Church was “aimlessly drifting towards”.
The coalition made their stand known in a statement issued to Igbere TV on Thursday, through their leader, Rev. Prince Thompson.
“The Concerned Christian Forum of Nigeria therefore demands the immediate resignation of Reverend Supo Ayokunle as CAN President.
“Our demand entails that the entire CAN executive resigns with the president to allow the association replace them with a leadership that will chart a course that conforms to the ideology upon which CAN was founded.
“If the rejected CAN executive is at a loss as to why it has to go, it only needs to look to the existence of our forum,” the statement read.
