Oyo CAN Warns Groups Not to Endorse Candidates in Its Name

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Oyo State has warned individuals and groups against using its name to endorse candidates or political parties ahead of the 2027 general election. The association says it remains non-partisan and has no affiliation with any party or political interest group. Oyo CAN Chairman Rev. Elisha Ogundiya said the chapter had received reports of unauthorised endorsements, including from Oke-Ogun. He clarified that Christians may participate in elections and support parties of their choice, but only CAN’s authorised executive organs can speak on behalf of the association. Ogundiya urged political actors to work towards credible, free and fair elections, and asked those claiming to represent CAN to stop doing so.
