The Christian Association of Nigeria, on Tuesday, urged the federal government to ignore the ‘mischievous Nigerians’ calling for the arrest and prosecution of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

CAN said this in a statement signed by the Public Relation Officers in the 19 northern states and the FCT CAN, Rev. Joseph Hayab.

The association said that the call for the arrest was designed to distract Nigerians from asking for the change they voted for.

“Such call will only set a wrong precedence in the political development of our dear nation and open doors for mischievous people to set the country into confusion.”

“It is our opinion that such action if taken, with the current economic realities, will throw the country into chaos.”

The association urged the federal government to solve the several problems plaguing Nigerians.

“The popularity of the present administration in the country is rapidly diminishing due to the prevailing problems of insecurity, power and fuel scarcity.”

“What Nigerians need urgently is availability of fuel, electricity, prompt salary, security of lives and property, amongst other issues that are begging for urgent answers.”

“The government should address the security threat posed by the spate of Fulani herdsmen attacks in the country leading to the death of thousands of innocent Nigerians.”

“Government must equally as a matter of urgency, arrest the acute shortage of power supply that is crippling our economic activities.”
