The Northern Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), representing the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has pledged to concentrate on its mandate rather than engage in unnecessary disputes with critics, asserting that its actions will speak for themselves.

During a dinner event held in Kaduna on Monday, Rev. Dr. John Joseph Hayab, the leader of Northern CAN, articulated this commitment in front of CAN chairmen, secretaries, and various religious leaders. He reaffirmed the association’s dedication to truth, inclusivity, and tackling the challenges that impede the region’s progress.

Rev. Dr. Hayab emphasised that the new leadership of CAN in the North will vigorously advocate for Northern Christians, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights safeguarded. He called upon the Christian community to prioritise unity and collaboration for sustainable development.

“We will continue to be a voice for Northern Christians, defenders of truth, and advocates for justice. However, we will approach this with love and understanding,” he stated.

He expressed concern over the entrenched religious and ethnic divisions in Northern Nigeria, labelling them as significant barriers to growth and peaceful coexistence.

“It is disheartening when people view us as fragmented and intolerant. We must usher in a new era—one characterised by love, respect, and partnership. Our region is blessed, yet these divisions have cost us dearly. It’s time for a shift in mindset,” he added.

In discussions with journalists following the event, Ambassador Elizabeth Azizi, leader of the Northern CAN Women’s Wing, voiced her confidence in Hayab’s leadership, describing him as a capable figure poised to advance the Christian cause in the North.

She also took issue with the previous CAN leadership under Rev. Yakubu Pam and Secretary Elder Sunday Oibe for overstaying their tenure by two years and nine months, urging them to act with maturity and refrain from dragging the Christian community into unnecessary disputes.

Similarly, Northern CAN Youth Leader Evangelist Musa Misal reiterated the youth’s support for Hayab, calling on Pam and Oibe to accept the transition graciously. He demanded an immediate handover of all Northern CAN properties across the 19 states and the FCT to the new leadership.

“The youth stand resolutely behind the new leadership and will provide unwavering support. This is the kind of leader we have long sought,” he declared.

The event saw the participation of prominent Christian leaders from across the region, including Bishop Mohammed Naga (Borno State), Secretary General of Northern CAN; Dr. Barr. Grace Kaka (Bauchi State), Director of Legal and Public Affairs; and Rev. Godwin Adole (Sokoto State), Director of Ecumenism and Interfaith.

Also in attendance were Rev. Emeka Obianyor, Director of Planning, Research, and Strategy; Rev. Fr. Prof. Ngbea Gabriel (Benue State), Director of Youth, Women, and Education; and Rev. Dr. Jonah Samson, Northern CAN Vice Chairman and Chairman of CAN North Central Zone.

Other notable figures included former ECWA General Secretary Worldwide, Rev. Yunusa Madu; and Bishop Ademola Idowu Tinuoye, President of the Pentecostal Bishops Forum and President of the Seat of God Ministries, Kaduna, among others.
