The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called for prayers for President Bola Tinubu, describing him as a listening leader.

CAN president, Most Reverend Daniel Okoh, spoke when he led the CAN leadership to President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, in Abuja.

Okoh praised Tinubu’s “great sense of inclusiveness” shown towards all Nigerians regardless of their religious or political leanings.

The CAN leader said the President’s inclusive approach on appointments has greatly increased the confidence of Nigerians in his administration.

Okoh advised the President to continue on this path of inclusion, which has been evident from the beginning of his administration.

“Sincerely what we found out is that the President is actually sensitive to all the challenges we have, we see that he is aware,” Okoh said.

“We see him making very positive steps even from the beginning of his administration by the way he has made appointments so far. He has come with a great sense of inclusiveness and Nigerians have a sense of belonging.

“As Nigerians in this govt, I tell you that his pronouncement so far and his body language has increased the confidence of Nigerians in Nigeria. We believe that if given the chance he will do a lot more, we are praying that the Lord will strengthen his hands to be able to do a lot more and we are praying that the lord will strengthen his hands to do a lot more and turn around the fortunes of this country.

“We know that there are a lot of challenges but what we tell our people is that this is just the beginning of this administration. What we are facing now didn’t just start today but several years back and it will take a while to turn around these things.

“The important thing is that there is an intentional step that the President has taken and he is taking to reverse the trend of events, especially in the area of governance.”

The CAN president urged Nigerians who seem to have lost hope due to the economic downturn to be patient, noting that the challenges facing the country we’re as a result of several years of misrule.
