According to the Nation, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN has called for the withdrawal of Nigeria from foreign religious organizations, including the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC). The association also called for an amendment to 1999 Constitution to enable governors control Commissioners of Police.
The recommendations were contained in a memo titled ''That we all may be ONE'' submitted by CAN to the leadership of the ongoing national conference.
In the memo, CAN faulted the constitutional establishment and funding of Sharia Court saying that it amounted to tacit adoption of Islam as a state religion. The body is seeking for another amendment to the constitution which will ensure the establishment and funding of Ecclesiastical Courts for Christians in Nigeria.
CAN also faulted the government’s takeover of Christian mission schools without applying the same law to Islamic schools. It further queried the establishment of Almajira schools in some parts of the country, describing it as a clear act of injustice, inequality and discrimination against Christians.
