Corruption, Recession Will Soon Become History – CAN President

The President, Christian Association of Nigeria
(CAN), Rev. Samson Ayokunle, has assured
Nigerians that the power of resurrection of Jesus
Christ would not only end corruption but would
also bring the economic downturn to a standstill. Ayokunke said this in a statement signed by his
Special Assistant on Media and Communications,
Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, on Sunday in Abuja. The CAN president, who gave this assurance in his
Easter Message to the nation, prayed God to bring
to end the economic hardship facing the country. “I wish all Nigerians a happy Easter in the name of
Jesus Christ our Lord. It is a season of hope, joy
and restoration. “The Lord that rolled away the stone from the
mouth of the tomb to put the enemy to shame will
roll away all causes of economic hardship from our
nation. “Corruption will be a thing of the past as
earthquake came to help in removing all
hindrances to the resurrection of Christ for a
glorious dawn to emerge. “The God of heaven will divinely intervene to bail
our nation out of economic downturn in the name
of Jesus.” Ayokunle expressed optimism that the future of
the country would be characterised by
abundance, joy and celebrations. “As the resurrection morning brought a day of joy
and laughter back to the disciples, the future years
shall be full of abundance in Nigeria. “It will bring back our joy and celebration in our
streets in the name of Jesus. “Our challenges of today will become the ladder to
our testimonies tomorrow in the name of Jesus. “It is well with you, our leaders at all levels of
government and our nation in the name of Jesus
Christ,’’ he said. He therefore admonished Nigerians to sustain
praying for the country and her leaders as they
confront the challenges facing the populace. Mr Daniel Kadzai, the National President, Youth
Wing of CAN, also urged youths to be drivers of
peace and nation building instead of being
accomplice of massive looting and corruption. He also called on the church to be agents of
change so as to help transform the nation from its
present predicament to a better living condition for
all.
