Pastor
Ayo Oritsejafor, the National President of the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN), has called on President Goodluck Jonathan and a number
of civil servants, both elected and appointed, to donate half of their
yearly income to the poor.
The
CAN President made this claim while his speech during the 53rd
Independence Anniversary Interdenominational Church Service at the
National Christian Centre in Abuja on September 29, 2013, Sunday.
Ayo Oritsejafor said the move would build confidence in Nigeria.
“The
unemployment situation is bad. The situation is critical. People are
jobless. I want to make a suggestion; and in making the suggestion, I
want to look up to the heaven that probably if all political office
holders, both elected and appointed, will give half of their salaries
for one year and put it in a dedicated account for the poor and let men
and women of integrity run that account, it will build confidence in the
society,” the CAN President said.
