The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has distanced itself from the unveiling of Kashim Shettima as the vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
National Public Relations Officer of CAN, Bayo Adedeji, made this known, on Thursday, after images of men said to be “pastors and bishops” went viral.
“Let them name the CAN officials that attended the programme and their offices,” he said.
“If they could use 2017 photos to claim that some bishops visited Senator Shettima and lied that Pastor E. A. Adeboye had endorsed them, they could do anything.
“Our position on Muslim-Muslim ticket is irreversible. Anybody can claim to be anything, but one thing is clear, CAN was not part of the unveiling programme of Shettima.”
Shettima, a two-term governor of Borno State, is the lawmaker representing Borno Central senatorial district in the National Assembly.
