The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has appealed to political office holders to lead with compassion, transparency, and accountability.
CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh made the appeal on Wednesday in a new year message to Nigerians.
He said the federal government should ensure that no Nigerian is left behind in the pursuit of a prosperous nation.
The Christian body said,”Despite the many difficulties we faced in 2024, including economic challenges and insecurity, we have witnessed God’s grace sustaining us as a nation. His mercy has brought us this far, and we trust that He will continue to guide us through the trials ahead.
“As we look ahead to 2025, we urge all Nigerians to return to God and serve Him faithfully. Only by seeking His guidance and walking in His ways can we find the peace, unity, and progress we all long for as a nation.
“We also call on those in governance to lead with compassion, transparency, and accountability. Let decisions be made with the welfare of the people in mind, ensuring that no Nigerian is left behind in the pursuit of a prosperous nation.
“With God’s continued grace and our collective commitment to His will, we believe 2025 will be a year of transformation and renewal for our beloved country. Let us move forward in faith, unity, and the hope that all shall be well with us,” CAN said.
