The leadership of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), is grateful to God and rejoiced with the Federal Government and the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo for surviving an helicopter crash in Kabba, Kogi State, Saturday 2 February, 2019.
The President, Rev. Samson Ayokunle, in a statement in Abuja, issued by his Special Assistant, Media and Communications, Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, also appreciated God for Osinbajos safety.
We give glory to God for sparing the life of the Vice President and his team from the helicopter crash while mobilising support for his party in preparation for the coming general elections.
We recalled that he had similar experience last year while visiting the Nigeria Customs College in Gwagwalada, Abuja.
It is our prayers that God will continue to watch over him and other top government functionaries in Jesus’ Name.
We urge the technical team or those responsible for the certification of the aircrafts and helicopters for use by the government officials to be more meticulous so as to avoid putting the lives of the users in danger.
May God continue to watch over our leaders and the rest of us in the name of Jesus.
Signed
Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, Special Assistant (Media & Communications) to CAN President, His Eminence, Dr Samson ‘Supo Ayokunle.
