President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Archbishop Daniel Okoh, has expressed concerns over the increasing level of hardship experienced by most Nigerians.
While speaking at an event organized by Catholic bishops in Nigeria at the weekend, Okoh said there was still hope for the future of the country.
Okoh, who was represented by Apostle Samson Fatokun, the general secretary of CAN, said: “This plenary session is coming at a time Nigerians are still going through excruciating pains, arising from harsh economic policies, recklessness of past governments, banditry and kidnapping.
“Prices of basic necessities have skyrocketed beyond the reach of ordinary people, and there appears to be no respite in sight. The living conditions of average Nigerian families today are better imagined than experienced.
“In addition, the new wave of military coups among our close neighbours and calls from certain quarters for military action against the coupists raise fears that living conditions may worsen in our country if that option is eventually taken by the authority of the ECOWAS Heads of Government.
“In all these, I believe that God Almighty will use faith leaders to fix this country if we do not give up. Nigeria will be great again.”
