The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has disclosed that it would announce the new president of the organisation on July 28, 2022.
This was stated by the organisation in the schedule of activities and timetable for its Year 2022 General Assembly and leadership transition program, which was signed by Rev. Samson Ayokunle, Special Assistant (Media and Communication) to the outgoing CAN President.
At the end of the General Assembly, where his nomination is anticipated to be accepted, the new CAN President will be announced on July 28, according to Oladeji.
Contrary to rumors spreading on social media, the religious organization, however, made no mention of the contender for the top position in CAN.
The transition timetable read, “The Christian Association of Nigeria has scheduled to hold the 2022 General Assembly from July 27 – 29, 2022 at the National Christian Centre, Abuja.
“This event will mark the end of the tenure of His Eminence, Rev. Dr. Samson Olasupo A Ayokunle and some Members of the National Executives under his team and will usher in another administration.
“There will be a symposium on the leadership crises in Nigeria on July 27, 2022, at the Jubilee Resorts, National Christian Centre, Abuja.
“Opening of the General Assembly that will ratify the election of the new President of the Association will take place on Thursday, July 28, 2022.
“Shortly afterward, the send-off Service in honour of the outgoing CAN President will hold at the Church auditorium, National Christian Centre, Abuja.
“The official Handing Over ceremony will take place on Friday, July 29, 2022, at the Jubilee Hall, National Christian Centre, Abuja.”
“His Eminence, Rev. Samson Ayokunle, expresses his gratitude to all major stakeholders for their support of his administration and asks for divine direction and growth.
Ayokunle was initially elected CAN President on June 15, 2016, succeeding his godfather, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, who concurrently served as President of the Nigerian Baptist Convention.
On June 19, 2019, he won reelection for a second three-year term after defeating Dr. Caleb Ahima, the President of the Fellowship of Churches of Christ in Nigeria.
