The Christian Association of Nigeria in the 19 northern states and Abuja has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his victory in the February 23 governorship election.

Mr Buhari was declared the winner in the early hours of Wednesday, beating his closest rival, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Mr Abubakar has since declared his intention to challenge the election in court

The northern CAN chapter in a letter to the president dated March 1, 2019, said the re-election of the president was a testimony of Mr Buhari’s “uprightness and transparency in governance”.

The letter, signed by Yakubu Pam, the association’s chairman, urged the president to unite the country and fight security and corruption challenges.

“Aware of this victory at a time the people of Nigeria are looking up to you for quality leadership, we urge you double your effort in the fight against insurgency, internal security and corruption in the country.”

The association called on the president to “run an inclusive government as you promised under the new dispensation to unite the diverse of people of Nigeria now, more than ever before.

“Mr President sir, the Bible says to whom much is given, much is expected. We wish to appeal that you continue to be father to all in Nigeria as we look forward to seeing prosperous nation in the next 4 years of your second term in office,” the letter partly reads.
