The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has denied endorsing President Muhammadu Buhari for second term in office, describing as “a fabrication” an online report on the issue.
The Christian body stated that no candidate was endorsed by the CAN leadership during its meeting with 14 presidential aspirants on Monday.
Media Aide to the CAN President, Pastor Bayo Oladeji, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, stated that the CAN engaged with the presidential candidates on their plans for the nation, noting that the issue of endorsement never arose.
He said, “We appeal to members of the public to beware of those who are fabricating this fake news for whatever reasons.
“We challenge the online platform that published this fake news to provide relevant footage and audio clip to back up the report.”
