The group said the current CAN leadership has made recent days traumatic for Christians in Nigeria.
According to the coalition, the faith of Christian faithful has never been so bashed in the history of the country as it has been in that space of time courtesy of the leadership of the body.
It, therefore, issued Reverend Ayokunle-led executive seven days to hand over the affairs of the association to an interim committee to run its affairs pending when a new election will be conducted.
According to him, “It is tragic to point out that the desecration of our faith by CAN did not just begin in these recent days. It has been on for a while now.
If the rejected CAN executive is at a loss as to why it has to go, it only needs to look to the existence of our forum. Had CAN pursued the agenda of uniting Christians across the various sects, denominations and persuasions, we would not have need to form this group pressure the leaders into the doing the needful.
“We give the Reverend Ayokunle executive seven days from today to hand over the affairs of the association to an interim committee to run its affairs pending when a new election will be conducted.
