The leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has\u00a0forgiven Sterling Bank and its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Abubakar Suleiman over the provocative\u00a0Easter greeting advertised by the Bank where it\u00a0compared the Resurrection of Jesus Christ to \u2018Agege Bread.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAN in a statement signed by the General Secretary, Barrister Joseph Daramola, acknowledged that they have\u00a0written an acceptable and genuine apology letter dated \u00a020 April, 2022 to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) personally signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Abubakar Suleiman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a result of this development, CAN has resolved to forgive Sterling Bank and its Chief Executive. We always remember that \u00a0\u2018to err is human and to forgive is divine.\u2019<\/p>

In taking this step, we are following the footsteps of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ who asked God to forgive those who nailed Him to the cross unjustly and has taught us to forgive always.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We hereby call on all Christians in the country to join us in forgiving the Sterling Bank and its management. Those who are considering stopping patronizing the bank as a result of the blunder should stop the process but instead continue doing business with the bank.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
