The newly elected Kaduna State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), was inaugurated on Friday, with the resolve to partner the state government and all stakeholders, to build a state of hope, peace and tranquility.
Speaking after taking over the leadership of CAN in the state, the new chairman, Rev. Ma’aji Caleb said, “Our focus sha6be to build trust, respect and true love among believers and people of other faiths in the state towards ensuring peace, unity and development in the state.”
According to him, “The Lord has blessed us with a new administration in the state that so far, through her dealings suggested that she is a government that we can trust, support and a government we can collaborate with for the overall development of Kaduna State.”
He assured that the new leadership of CAN in the state would continue to consult the past leaders for guidance, saying that they have proved themselves worthy mentors and excellent in leadership.
The new chairman added that the new leadership of CAN in the state is coming at a time when there is the need for a new approach to put in place to foster unity and development for the body of Christ in order to contribute positively for a peaceful and United state.
Earlier, the outgoing chairman, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, thanked the Church for the support given to the outgoing leadership and prayed for more support to the new leadership for a united and purposeful leadership in the state.
He lamented that few days ago, about 400 people have been kidnapped by bandits in the state, but thanked Governor Uba Sani for being there for the plight the people of the state are going through.
According to him, “Governor Uba Sani’s government has so far, proved to be inclusive to all and very sensitive to the plight of the common man. He, therefore, needs our prayers and support so that he will be able to carry out the programmes he has for the good people of the state in moving their living standards forward.”
Hayab expressed delight that the religious preaching bill which the government of former Governor el-Rufai wanted to regulate the activities of both Christians and Muslims has been quashed in the court of law.
