The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called on the people of Ijebuland to return to God as it prepares to host a three-day revival tagged “Gospel One-On-One Azusa Crusade.”

Scheduled for October 8–10, 2025, at the Ijebu-Ode Local Government premises, Itoro, the crusade is expected to bring together Christians across the six local government areas of Ijebuland for prayers, miracles, teachings, and divine encounters.

Speaking at a press briefing, CAN Ijebu-Ode South Chairman, Bishop Hon. Dr. Wasiu Olalekan Oluwatosin, said the revival is an urgent reminder that no society thrives without God’s presence.

“Ijebu people are sociable, but there is a need for us to also draw closer to God in our daily lives. Any nation without God’s presence is bound for destruction. This revival is an awakening for all Ijebu residents, both at home and abroad, to receive blessings, freedom from bondage, and a renewed vision for God’s kingdom,” he declared.

Echoing this, CAN liaison officer, Pastor Idowu Mathew, described the crusade as a divine opportunity for healing and restoration. “The essence of this revival is to bring people closer to God, heal the land, and ignite the fire of faith in all who believe,” he said.

The press conference was attended by CAN leaders across Ijebuland, including Ven. Olaniyi John (Odogbolu), Rev. Dr. Wale Ojo (Yemoji), Ven. Abiodun O. Enigbokan (Ogun Waterside), Rev. Dr. Dele Taiwo (Ijebu-Ode Chapter), Pastor Ganiyu Olukade (Ijebu East Central, Ojowo), Pastor Samson Odugbesan (IJNE Chapter), and Bro. Emmanuel Adeniyi (Azusa).

With expectations running high, CAN leaders have urged all indigenes and residents to actively participate, affirming that the crusade will serve as a turning point for spiritual renewal in Ijebuland.
