The clerics make their demands known

Speaking on behlaf of the clerics, Imam Muahammad Salisu, said they have come to a conclusion that Ayom is the candidate Nigeria needs at this critical moment of sustainable change.

Noting that the entire people of Middle Belt endorse Ayom, Salisu the presidential aspirant is credible and should be supported for the 2023 presidential election.

Also speaking, leading the Christian clerics, Archbishop Edward William, said for the purpose of equity, Ayom is the best presidential aspirant for 2023.

In his reaction on the calls made by the clerics, the Mdzough U Tiv said even as a socio-cultural body of the Tiv people worldwide, the organisation would give its blessing to the presidential aspirant.

He said such blessing would enable Ayom succeed in his bid to govern Nigeria.
