Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has finally won the hearts of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) as the Christian body has commended the governor for his uncommon courage and boldness towards his intention to contest for the 2019 presidential election.

In a letter dated October 16, 2017 with reference number CAN/GS/IGMAILS/02/017 signed by the General Secretary of the Association, Rev. Dr. Musa Asake, CAN declared that: “Unarguably, you have done what many of our politicians, Christians in particular, do not have the courage to do.”

“This is why I agree with you, hook line and sinker when, in your speech, you said inter alia, ‘You are all witnesses to my commitment to this party in this difficult period, where I have demonstrated uncommon courage that makes me stand out as capable of leading our country at this time’.”

“In times like this, if honest and courageous leaders like you are not careful, this can bring discouragement. Be assured that the Lord who has led you in your leadership as the Executive Governor of Ekiti State at this time will never let you down.”

“The leader that Nigeria really needs is the one that shuns the cosmetic approach because he knows it is superficial; and the “quick fix it” approach because he knows it is temporary.”

“The country needs a leader who has the courage to face problems honestly, the wisdom to understand them, the strength to do something about them and the faith to trust God to do the rest.”
