2015: It’s time to vote out corrupt leaders – CAN
Ahead of the 2015 general elections, the Christian Association of
Nigeria, CAN, has called on Christians in the country to vote out
leaders with questionable characters.
The National Secretary of CAN, Dr. Musa Asake, stated this in Osogbo on Thursday during the inauguration of new executive members of the Osun State chapter of the Association.
According to Asake, the nation has remained stagnant for long due to massive corruption, especially among the leaders.
He said the masses needed to act by voting against corrupt leaders. He said the nation would continue to retrogress unless people of integrity were elected to lead.
According to him, “Christians all over the country should vote out corrupt leaders in the 2015 general elections. “Christians have the right to choose good leaders into offices. We need to exercise our right to vote against corrupt leaders.
“Every position in this world is temporary, so I beseech our leaders, especially Christians holding public offices to be more conscious of life after office and do everything in a way that will make them to be able to give good accounts thereafter.
“Some Christians got to power as real Christians, but they eventually
left the office as non-Christians. Christians should serve as light and
salt to the world.”
He lamented that some leaders of the church were compromising on some issues which require uprightness. He added that the church was facing integrity crisis because of such, calling on the concerned leaders to make amend.
Asake said, “We are facing integrity crisis in the church, not only in the conduct of the church in question, but also in the very character of the church. The integrity crisis involves more than a few people who are accused of moral and financial improprieties. The integrity crisis involves the whole church.
“If the church must meet the challenge of this millennium and be relevant, it will need leaders with discernment, men and women of proven and tested characters, leaders who know that the shame of one ministry doesn’t demand the condemnation of all ministries,” he added.
