Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has debunked reports of reaching an agreement with the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu over the party\u2019s Muslim-Muslim ticket.<\/p>\n

CAN said its position against a same-faith presidential ticket can\u2019t be compromised.<\/p>\n

Reports had it that CAN changed its position on the same-faith presidential ticket after meeting with Tinubu and his campaign team.<\/p>\n

However, CAN described the reports as malicious, false, and should be discountenanced.<\/p>\n

The Christian body noted that it respects the rights of politicians and political parties to make decisions that affect their electoral fortunes.<\/p>\n

CAN reiterated that it is non-partisan but prepared to collaborate with relevant stakeholders to ensure the country\u2019s unity.<\/p>\n

In a statement by CAN\u2019s President, Daniel Okoh, he said: \u201cThe attention of the leadership of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has been drawn to a media report titled, \u2018How Tinubu met, resolved Muslim-Muslim ticket with CAN\u2019, which claimed that the apex Christian body has changed its position regarding the same-faith ticket.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo say the least, the story is ridiculous, malicious, untrue and should be disregarded in its entirety by all reasonable members of the society.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the records, CAN took a position against the same-faith ticket imbroglio under the leadership of Rev. Dr Samson Ayokunle, its immediate past national president, and as a matter of fact, His Eminence Archbishop Daniel Okoh, stands on that same position.\u201d<\/p>\n
