As Christians around the world begin the Lenten season on Wednesday, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called for prayers for the nation’s leaders, urging wisdom and compassion in governance.
The President, CAN, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, in a statement he personally signed on Wednesday, highlighted the importance of reflection, unity, and sacrifice amid the country’s socio-economic and security challenges.
He said that Nigerians understand sacrifice and endurance and that the lent resonates with the patience of mothers stretching meals, the courage of fathers toiling under the sun, and the faith of children praying for a brighter future.
He urged Christians to approach this Lenten season sincerely and invite all Nigerians, regardless of creed, to join in this spirit of renewal.
