Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa,
has urged the immediate past president of the Christian Association of Nigeria,
CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, not to see his bowing out of the saddle of CAN
leadership as a call to retirement but a call to take up more responsibilities
for the body of Christ both within and outside the country.
Rize FM Correspondent, Laju Awala, reports
that the Governor made the call in an address at the reception and
interdenominational victory thanksgiving service held in honour of Pastor Ayo
by the South-South Zone of CAN at the International Gospel Centre Ajamimogha,
Warri.
Governor Okowa noted that as CAN
President, Pastor Ayo gave an uncommon voice of advocacy to the church in
Nigeria and appealed to him to continue in that stead, adding that CAN
leadership needs his support.
The Delta state Governor also spoke on the
need for the Church harp on the importance of salvation and wake up to its true
responsibilities especially now that the nation is dying need of true patriotic
and sincere men and women.
There was also a message from the Governor
of Bayelsa State Seriake Dickson, delivered by the Secretary to the State
Governor, Dokubo Spiff.
