UPDATE: Papa Oritsejafor Out, Rev. Ayokunle Emerges New CAN President

All the fears of a fall out in the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has been put to rest. A new president has emerged for the umbrella body of Nigerian Christians.

Rev. Supo Ayokunle defeated Elder Joseph Otubu in the just concluded CAN election as announced by the out-going president, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.

The election was concluded peacefully and the result announced around 2:30pm in the Christian Ecumenical Centre, Abuja where the President of the Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC), Rev. Supo Ayokunle defeated Elder Joseph Otubu of the Cherubim and Seraphim by 54 votes to 28 Votes.

We hope the new CAN president will stay away from partisan politics and restore its dignity. Congrats!
