The Christian Association of Nigeria wants Nigeria to leave the presidential system of government and adopt the parliamentary system.
This was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of a meeting of the National President of CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor and the South-West leaders of the body, led by Archbishop Magnus Adeyemi Atilade, which held at the weekend in Ikeja, Lagos.
CAN in the communiqué signed by Archbishop Atilade, said the presidential system was too costly for Nigeria to bear.
According to the body, the nation’s resources were being wasted on recurrent expenditure that had not been beneficial to the generality of Nigerians.
CAN observed that churches in Nigeria were under intense attack from what it called “the forces of evil, with Christians being killed daily in the northern part the country.
“Christian schools are being closed down and churches are not being given approval or certificate of occupancy for development of churches,” it stated.
The body urged the Federal Government to address problems that could lead to religious uprising in the country.
