ACAC and North-East CAN Deny Declaring Support for Buhari
The Arewa Citizens Action for Change, ACAC, has denied reports that the North-East chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria endorsed the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress , General Muhammadu Bahuri (rtd), ahead of the forthcoming presidential elections.
The Chairman of the ACAC, Emmanuel Danjuma and Legal Officer, Sadiq Abubakar, on Thursday released a statement saying the endorsement for any presidential candidate was not discussed during their courtesy visit to the North-East CAN Chairman, Reverend Shu’aibu Byal as the visit was not political.
The statement reads, “The main aim of our visit to the North-East CAN Chairman was about how to achieve a peaceful society in northern Nigeria and to revive the good relationship that existed between Muslims and Christians youths and the possible solutions to problems the region might experience during and after elections.
“We wish to state categorically that there was never a time in our discussion that CAN North-East Chairman stated that he had endorsed Buhari or will canvass vote for Buhari in the general elections.
I’m being harshly judged by my past records – Buhari
“The association is categorically debunking these false allegations that are mere speculations and have no basis. Our association is solely saddled with the responsibility of promoting peace and uniting the youths of the two main religions”.
