Presidency Says CAN’s Message To Buhari ‘Touching, Thoughtful’

The Presidency has confirmed receipt of goodwill message from the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Presidency, which acknowledged the letter signed by CAN President Samson Ayokunle, thanked the association for its prayers for the ailing president.

In a statement on Monday by Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, described as “touching and thoughtful,” CAN’s message to Mr. Buhari.

Mr. Shehu added that such messages of goodwill from respected religious bodies like CAN meant so much at a time when people with ill intentions were struggling to divide the country along religious lines.

He also thanked the CAN for its continued prayers for the president’s health.

“The presidency looks forward to further collaborations with CAN to ensure that Nigerians of all ethnic and religious groups benefit from the policies of the President Buhari administration which are aimed at improving the welfare of every single citizen of our great country,” he said.
