The National President, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN Reverend Supo Ayokunle has called for tolerance, love and mutual respect for each other’s belief to facilitate national growth and development.
He made the call during a courtesy visit on the Emir of Zazzau Shehu Idris in his palace in Zaria, Kaduna State in continuation of his nationwide tour of states.
Ayokunle said the call became necessary in view of the fact that tolerance, accommodation as well as respect for each other’s religion are critical elements that would facilitate rapid development.
He expressed optimism that in spite of some security challenges bedeviling the country, Nigeria would not disintegrate, instead it would certainly grow to prosperity.
Responding, the Emir appreciated the CAN President for the visit and urged him to sustain the tempo, assuring that his doors were always opened. He assured that as traditional rulers they would never relent in preaching peace and encouraging people to embrace peaceful coexistence.
