The Chairman of the Northern Christian Association, formerly Northern CAN, Joseph Hayab, has cautioned politicians against manipulation, greed and selfish leadership, urging public office holders to fear God and serve as positive examples to younger Nigerians.

Hayab, who is also the Senior Pastor of Amazing Grace Baptist Church, spoke on Sunday shortly after the dedication of the church auditorium in Gonin Gora, Kaduna State.

The event attracted prominent Nigerians, including politicians, religious leaders, traditional rulers and other dignitaries.

Speaking with journalists after the service, the cleric stressed the need for peaceful coexistence and religious harmony in the country, noting that Nigerians must embrace unity irrespective of ethnic, political or religious differences.
