2027 Polls: ‘We Maintain Political Neutrality’, Says CAN

The Christian Association of Nigeria,  CAN, says it maintains political neutrality as the country prepares for the forthcoming  2027 elections.
CAN was reacting to the claims by one Archbishop Chivir Chianson and the group he represented, in their attempt to  present himself as the General Secretary of the Association and associate with a purported church mobilisation in support of a political candidate.
In a statement signed by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, CAN noted that Chianson was not the General Secretary of the association adding that he had no authority or mandate to speak or act on its behalf.
It's statement read, “Furthermore, the group he represents has no official affiliation, working relationship or institutional connection with CAN.
“CAN has not authorised, endorsed or mandated the individual or his group to organise, promote or undertake any political mobilisation in its name. Any political position, endorsement or activity attributed to them must not be mistaken for the position or activities of the Association.
“The Association wishes to reaffirm its commitment to political neutrality as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.
“CAN will continue to engage national issues objectively and hold political leaders accountable, irrespective of party affiliation, without endorsing or mobilising support for any political party or candidate.
