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.
