Kwara State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, has rejected the state government’s request to be part of the ceremonial service for this year’s Independence celebration.

CAN had recently alleged a
deliberate ploy by the Kwara state government to shut out qualified Christian
faithful from occupying key political and career positions under the
administration of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed.
The Christian Association of Nigeria also
alleged that the positions given to Christians were a far cry from the
population of Christians in Kwara state.
CAN, at the end of its emergency
meeting in Ilorin on Friday, said its members would rather assemble at the
sprawling United Missionary Theological Church along Offa Garage Area, Ilorin,
by 5pm today for “a special prayer for the nation.”
