OUTGOING Vice President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, and president of Nigerian Baptist Convention, Rev. Samson Olasupo Ayokunle yesterday won the first round of the CAN presidential election, defeating his only rival eight votes to two. Rev Ayokunle Rev Ayokunle Sources close to the CAN Electoral College which sat yesterday to screen the nominees for the election, said Rev. Ayokunle who is representing the Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN) polled eight votes against his only rival, Prof. Joseph Otubu of the Organization of African Instituted Churches (OAIC) who scored two votes. Five members of the 15-member Electoral College abstained. According to the constitution of CAN, the Electoral College headed by erstwhile Chaplain to two Nigerian presidents and Head, Aso Rock Villa Chapel, Rev. William Okoye is expected to screen the nominated candidates and recommend two of them for the National Executive Council for election. The Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, CSN and the Christian Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria/Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, CPFN/PFN, which nominated the outgoing president, did not present candidates for the election. Following the unresolved dispute in the TEKAN/ECWA bloc the number of candidates for the CAN president was reduced to just two which, some now reason, should have made the Electoral College to have recommended the two to NEC for the election. Some members, who spoke to Vanguard yesterday said the Electoral College had erred in its operation when it went beyond its brief to conduct an election among the two persons with some suggesting that the election would create a credibility problem for CAN which is desirous of giving opportunities to every participating bloc. A senior cleric belonging to the CCN, told our correspondent yesterday that the current development may negate the rotational principle of CAN, insisting that the Electoral College should have stopped at screening the candidates for their qualifications. The two candidates would now be presented to the NEC which is scheduled to meet again in mid-June to elect the successor of outgoing CAN president, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.

  294. Why Keep Left? It lets traffic pass you more easily and you’re less likely to pick up oil and coolant that leaks from cars. The exception: Don’t drive close to parked cars, these doors can open unexpectedly and take you out. Avoid riding during rush hour (7-9am & 4-8pm), unless you are travelling on small roads. Travelling around the moat road is a scary experience for noob riders. You’ll often have to navigate across multiple lanes due to the one-way structure. During rush hour, both Nimman & Huay Kaew road are usually backed up by at least 100 metres. So unless you have to skills to weave in & out of the traffic while avoiding both the oblivious tourists and car mirrors, then save this daunting task for weeks 2 or 3 of your riding career. So where is good for beginners to practise? If you’re in the old town, just drive around for a few hours in the daytime or after 9. It’s quiet, the roads are wide and the pace is slow.
