The President, Nigerian Baptist Convention, Dr. Supo
Ayokunle, was on Tuesday in Abuja, elected the new President of the Christian
Association of Nigeria, bringing to an end the apprehension that the election
would be controversial.
The declaration of Ayokunle as winner of the election was
announced by the outgoing President of CAN,
Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, to a
rousing applause at the Ecumenical Centre, Abuja.
The new CAN President polled 54 votes to defeat Prof. Joseph
Otubu of the Motailatu Church Cherubim and Seraphim Movement with 28 votes.
While Ayokunle contested under the platform of the Christian
Council of Nigeria, Otubu contested under the umbrella of the Organisation of
African Instituted Churches.
The PUNCH reports that only the two candidates contested the
election.
