The CAN president while lamenting about the cases of kidnapping in the country said other abducted CAN local government chairmen in Jos and Taraba are still being held captive.

“The government must rise up more than ever before and perform their responsibility,” he said.

And to Christians, he said: “They should also be tolerant and more prayerful because God answers prayers, restores peace and touches the heart of those who hate and want to eliminate us. ”

“I am also calling on all Nigerians especially the Christians under my constituency to give peace a chance.

“We should take the bull by the horns on our knees as we endeavor not to be provoked but to maintain peace with our neighbours.”
