CAN Declares July 2 Special Day Of Prayers To Tackle Rising Insecurity In Oyo
The Oyo State branch of the Christian Association of Nigeria has announced July 2, 2021 as a day of intercession against insecurity in Oyo State and the country.
This was one of the resolutions made today during a stakeholders meeting with the Christian body in Oyo state by the Oyo State government and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
CAN and the State Government agreed to go spiritual during the meeting, with CAN promising to hold a special praise, worship, and prayer session to intercede for the State, represented by Hon. Commissioner for Information, Culture, and Tourism, Dr. Wasiu Olatunbosun, and the Executive Assistant on Administration, Rev. Idowu Ogedengbe.
Recall that the State Government met with Islamic and traditional leaders in the state, who promised to collaborate with the government to eliminate insecurity.
During the meeting, Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Dr. Wasiu Olatunbosun, stated that the State Government has sought the intervention of religious stakeholders in the State in order to forge a new front against insecurity in the state.

“In a bid to renew our efforts against insecurity, Oyo state has been working tireless against insecurity in recent times. We have purchased needed gadgets and vehicles for security agents in the State and we will do more”, he said.
“However, we can not do it alone, we apparently need to change our strategies and work with you religious stakeholders in the state,” said Wasiu Olatunbosun at the meeting.
“We are meeting christians and Christian body for a specific reason, which is to trigger a religious war against the devilish act of banditry, abduction and insecurity in the state”.
“This government seeks to secure the state from insecurity and we will do so regardless of the state of the nation,” said Olatunbosun.
“And as we redouble our efforts, we will never allow insecurity to divide us— this is why we have engaged representatives of all religion in the State: Christian, Muslim and traditional worshippers”.
In his comment, Chairman, CAN, Oyo State chapter, Apostle (Col) Joshua Akinyemiju said the body in partnership with the Chaplain of the State Government house will commence a powerful intercession for the State.
“Yes, insecurity is not exclusive to Oyo State, but we believe as Christians, we will not give in. We will intensify our efforts to pull down the strong hold of the enemy”, he said.
The CAN Chairman however berated those promulgating falsehood that the State Government has neglected Christian or Islamic bodies, rather seeking only traditional means.
“We are glad this meeting is coming up today. This strategy by the State Government is commendable and we thank the Government for inviting us”, he said.
