2019 Polls: Observe Decorum, CAN Urges Politicians

The President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Dr Samson Ayokunle, yesterday urged desperate politicians to observe decorum and imbibe the spirit of sportsmanship as the 2019 elections drew near.
The CAN president made the call in Bayelsa State Government House, when the body paid a courtesy visit to the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, retired Rear Adm. Gboribiogha John-Jonah.
“The desperation we see in politicians is unacceptable, and it gives us fear that if care is not taken they may set the nation on fire. The church says no to every evil manipulation in this fourth coming election,” he said.
“We are praying seriously for God to rule over the affairs of Nigeria in 2019 elections. “We are also praying with those in government, who can make things happen because Nigeria has to put in place machinery to maintain peace and order for a free and fair election in 2019.
“I and my team will be visiting President Muhammadu Buhari, next week to discuss about the preparation, the conduct of the election and how it can be free and fair.
We don’t need war in Enugu during election – APC factional chair Ayokunle said that CAN had registered and trained over 300 observers all over the country to monitor the 2019 elections. He said that those trained would also train others in other geo-political zones of the country.
“We believe we can place three observers in each polling booth to ensure they report to us during the course of the election,’’ he said.
