"STAND IN DEFENCE OF OUR DEMOCRACY", HAYAB TELLS CHRISTIANS

"We can not truly celebrate and enjoy the victory of Easter when evil reins everywhere and is unchallenged".

"Those who use evil schemes to divide us must be exposed"... Kaduna CAN Chairman Tells Christians At Easter.

The Kaduna state Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Joseph John Hyab has enjoined Nigerians to stand in defense of Nigeria's democracy and also, condemn the evils being perpetrated against the country.


Criticizing the poor handling of kidnapping, attacks and Killings in the country by the Government, Rev. Hyab called on Nigerians to defend Nigeria against the evils in the land.

According to Rev. Hayab in his Easter message on Saturday, "Nigeria is today faced with serious challenges of insecurity, banditry, corruption, bigotry and many evil atrocities". 

"Christians must join other Nigerians of good will to stand up with courage and speak out against such evils", he said.

"Evil will not just end, especially when good people remain silent", he stated.

Rev. Hayab reiterated that, "even in the face of blackmail, physical attack and arrest, fear should not deter Christians & well-meaning Nigerians from speaking out against evil. Those who use evil schemes to divide us must be exposed".

"Those who take undue advantage of our weak friends and neighbours must also be exposed".

"Those who kill fellow Nigerians should be exposed and made to face the wrath of the law and those who steal or divert public funds, should be brought to book”, he said. 

"Nigerians should exploit every avenue to speak out against evil if they genuinely want to bring sanity to our society".

"Apparently, we can not truly celebrate and enjoy the victory of Easter when evil reins everywhere and is unchallenged".

" lIt is appropriate and Godly in the spirit of Easter to make sacrifices for our society by speaking out against evil. Our prayer for the good of life will only be answered when we denounce evil and those who practice it whether publicly or secretly", Hayab stressed.

"Jesus, through his earthly ministry, demonstrated the courage to speak out against evil, and especially at Easter", he added

"Therefore, as Christians celebrate Easter to commemorate the trials, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, they must have the courage to speak out against evil in our land", the Kaduna chapter counselled.
