Dr. Samson Ayokunle who is the new president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has warned President Muhammadu Buhari not to treat Christians as fools by showing preferences.

The CAN President, speaking in an interview with The Punch, urged the president to encourage religious tolerance and balance.

He said: “I want to advise the present government to maintain balance and keep close to constitution irrespective of the religious belief of those in government.

“The government should respect the constitution of Nigeria because if the government breaks the constitution of Nigeria on religion alone, they have already opened the door for lawlessness in the society.”

“The government of Nigeria should not take things for granted and think that Christians are fools and they will be seen to be promoting one religion above the other or favour one religion to the detriment of the other,” He added.

“Whenever we see that, we are going to tell them to be very careful and we are going to speak out. Who you are going to worship is a fundamental right of every individual and government is there to protect that, not to force one religion on the other.”
