The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has congratulated Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his assumption of office as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In a statement issued by its president, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, on Tuesday, CAN advised Tinubu to ensure a good balance in the appointment of security chiefs and other political positions.
Archbishop Okoh said in his statement: “We recognise that he is taking office at a time when virtually all sectors of the country are yearning for attention, and we wish to advise the President to ensure a good balance in the appointment of security chiefs and other top political positions that will help stabilise his government.
“It is crucial that the appointments reflect the diversity of Nigeria and that qualified individuals from different religious and ethnic backgrounds are given the opportunity to serve in these positions.
“CAN acknowledges the importance of these appointments in ensuring the security and well-being of Nigerians. We, therefore, advise President Tinubu to take a proactive stance in ensuring that the appointments reflect the diversity of Nigeria and that the best individuals are selected for these positions.”
Okoh added that Nigerians are looking forward to an administration that will address the injustices and unfairness of the past.
