The leaders of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Friday, met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja in a meeting which was attended by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo; Babagana Monguno, national security adviser; and Winifred Oyo-Ita, head of service of the federation.
The meeting held at a time when the religious body accused the federal government of plotting to Islamise the country. At a meeting in Lagos earlier in the week, the leadership of CAN called on the government to withdraw from all religious bodies.
After the meeting, the president took to his Twitter page and shared some photos from the high profile gathereing and wrote; "I just welcomed Christian leaders to the State House, for a meeting. At 2pm I will meet with Muslim leaders.
"Our diversity is one of the most important things about us as a nation, and we must do everything in our power to promote religious harmony and understanding."
