Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) recently advised President Muhammadu Buhari to cope with criticism against the ineffencies of his administration, saying not all critics hate his government.
He said, “CAN wishes to restate that there was never a time we did not pray for the government at all levels and still continue to pray, especially for President Buhari and his government because it is in his right actions that all of us in the nation would prosper.
“This government should never claim perfection in all they do but be open to godly admonitions from the Church in Nigeria. Through these godly admonitions if positively received, the government will serve the people better.
“We are essential stakeholders as those in government in the building of a vibrant Nigeria. Take criticisms with a huge sense of thanksgiving and appreciation instead of anger.
“We need to counsel those in the government to give room for criticism. Criticism doesn’t make one the enemy of the government. If we are practicing democracy, let those in the position of authorities be sensitive and responsive to the yearnings of the people.”
“We need to reiterate that we are not only going to pray but we shall watch also because the injunction of the Bible to us is to ‘watch’ and pray.”
