The Governor described the March 18th election as a state-level exercise with all candidates contesting various positions, particularly for the governorship as Christians.
He said it was not healthy for any candidate to be allowed to approach any constituent of CAN to demand endorsement insisting that such action could create a division within the association and undermine the state.
He said:
“Nobody can say that through this election, I called him or her and said, look, this is where you will go to. Nobody can also say that you came to me, see what the church has decided to do.
“Now we are going for local election, not national election. Why will people begin to bring CAN into it, which we have never done before. CAN Rivers State has always been one. You, going to take one of the families to say endorse this person, you’re killing CAN because this State is a Christian State.”
