However, the CAN President who is also the National President, Baptist Convention, expressed the optimism that God would intervene to salvage the situation.

The CAN President who confessed that steering affairs of the association had not been easy, pointed out that the body was not a political party but rather an organization out to defend the interest of Christians in the country.

Ayokunle described Wale Oke as “world shaker who came from nowhere but has  been everywhere”, thanked the Bishop for supporting him and members of his cabinet, praying that God would always uphold him.

Speaking, the Presiding Bishop of the church, Wale Oke commended Rev Ayokunle for always speaking when it mattered to the authorities concerned.

He said Christian leaders were not keeping quiet about the situation in the country, adding, “we are not keeping quiet; we speak up from time to time to the authorities”

The convention themed: The Manifold Wisdom of God, which started on Monday, September 2, will be rounded off on Sunday, September 8, which coincides with the 63rd birthday of the Bishop.
