“We the Tinubu Youth Disciples are delighted to hear the news of your emergence as the new chairman of the highest Christian body in Nigeria, the Christian Association of Nigeria.
“We are confident of your capability to steer the wheels of the great Christian body and lead the entire Christiandom as the Lord Jesus Christ admonish.
“We pray that the Almighty God gives you the grace and the enablement to discharge your new assignment,’’ Uhrorho said.
It would be recalled that the association’s General Secretary, Mr Joseph Daramola, announced the emergence of Most Rev. Okoh as the new CAN President in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.
Okoh is the General Superintendent of Christ Holy Church, also known as Nation Builders (Odozi-Obodo).
CAN is made up of five blocs: Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN), Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN) and Christian Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (CPFN)/Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN). Others are Organisation of African Instituted Churches (OAIC), TEKAN and ECWA Fellowship.
In another report, Rotimi Amaechi who is the immediate past Minister of Transportation and a former presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has asserted that he believes that some of the delegates, who voted at the special convention of the party are now regretting their decisions.
Amaechi, who also is a former governor of Rivers State, has now gone on to plead with clerics to pray for the ordinary Nigerians to enable them elect a president that would solve the problems of the country when they go out to vote next year.
He made these comments in Port Harcourt, weekend, at the 60th birthday celebration of Apostle Eugene Ogu, General Overseer of Abundant Life Evangel Mission.
Amaechi pointed out that some of the voters at the convention took money and made their decisions, adding that they were now regretting their decisions.
