The statement read in part, ”We heartily congratulate you on your recent victory at the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) election where you emerged as President and leader of the noble body of Christian believers.
“It is our deep belief that there could be no better time to bring in someone of your calibre than now when this exalted body is faced with a myriad of national issues requiring urgent attention. Indeed this is an opportunity for you to bring in your wealth of experience to chart a progressive vision and agenda for CAN.
“We are confident of your capability to steer the wheels of the great Christian body and lead the entire Christiandom as the Lord Jesus Christ admonishes.
“As our name implies above, we wish to use this medium to formally introduce our association, which comprises many intellectuals and politicians from the length and breadth of this country. We shall use our position to support your administration in any way that can add value to CAN and Nigeria.
“We wish you a successful tenure even as we affirm the assurance of our esteem regards.”
