The Christian Association of Nigeria, has appealed to Nigerians to unite and build a stronger country with the new administration of president Bola Tinubu.

Kaduna State Chairman of CAN, Rev John Joseph Hayab, made the appeal in a press statement issued to newsmen in Kaduna on Thursday shortly after the Supreme Court of Nigeria affirmed Tinubu as the duly elected president, dismissing the petition filed by the candidate of the opposition People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of Labour Party, (LP)

According to the CAN Chairman, the country cannot achieve sustainable growth until Nigerians join their hands together to build the nation of their dreams where casting aspersions on one another will become a thing of the past.

“Now that our highest court has ruled according to our laws, any unhealthy debate and character assassination amongst political parties and supporters of political office seekers should stop to give room for healing, restoration and unity for development.

“Nigerians should always appreciate and respect the judiciary in the interest of peace and harmonious coexistence in the country.

“No Nigerian should allow himself or herself to be used to divide the country based on political differences, but unite and support the person the Supreme Court has confirmed for development to thrive in the country.

“Citizens should unite in love as they support the new government and hold them accountable for good governance,” he said.
