The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Tuesday asked Nigeria and other countries to relocate their embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
CAN President, Samson Ayodele made the call in Abuja in a statement signed by Adebayo Oladeji, his spokesperson.
The umbrella group for Christians in Nigeria while commending the Israeli government on the 70th anniversary of their country, said the relocation of the capital to Jerusalem was “Special Anniversary Present from the God of the Patriarchs.”
Can said that the declaration made by President Donald Trump on December 6, 2017, was a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.
The statement read in part, “It is our prayers that other countries including Nigeria will relocate their embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
“We appreciate the leadership role of the United States in the landmark historic event.
“We are happy that countries such as the United States of America, Guatemala, Honduras, Romania, and Paraguay have relocated their embassies from Tel Aviv.’’
