CAN secretary under fire for Jonathan resignation call

The President is fending off calls for his resignation over the grim insecurity in the land.
The latest of such call came from the Northern chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), which criticised what it called Dr. Goodluck Jonathan’s poor handling of the security challenges.
But, to the Presidency, the call is uncalled for and misguided.
It, however, sympathises with Christians for the loss of lives to Boko Haram insurgency.
CAN faulted the President’s handling of the security challenges, insisting that he has failed Nigerians and, therefore, should resign.
It argued that it had become very clear that President Jonathan was no longer capable of handling the dangers posed by the Boko Haram (Western education is sin) insurgency.
In a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Mr. Sunday Oibe, CAN in the 19 northern states said it was regrettable that the Boko Haram continued to thrive and got away with its murderous activities because of the support from the President.
There is no sign that Jonathan will throw in the towel. His Senior Special Assistant on Public Matters, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said yesterday that though the call by the Northern CAN “is misguided, government is compelled to sympathise with the Christian Community in the North who have suffered incessant attacks and bloodshed.”
“The call by Northern CAN for the President to resign is however misguided,” Okupe said.
