CAN’s leadership during the week paid a courtesy visit to Buhari at the Presidential Villa to congratulate the president on his re-election.
A speech delivered during the visit by the association’s president, Reverend Samson Ayokunle contained several requests the group made to the president.
It reads in part, “We solicit for inclusiveness and fairness as you constitute your cabinet and appoint worthy Nigerians to the headship and membership of critical agencies, boards and parastatals.
“This is the true and objective way in which you can give all in the country, a sense of belonging.
“We from the Christian Association of Nigeria, recognise the importance of the National Assembly to the stability and growth of our polity.
“It is in this regard that we call for ethnic and religious balance with depth in picking the leadership of that great institution of democracy.
“To ensure that this happens is to remove any apprehension and suspicion harboured towards the leadership of this country.
“We equally solicit that the principle of separation of power as it is enshrined in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria would be allowed to thrive as an intrinsic aspect of modern day democracy.”
“We solicit passionately for deliberate and relentless effort to free Leah Sharibu and other Chibok girls from captivity.”
