The South-South Branch of the Network of Clergymen in Nigeria (NCN) has thrown its weight behind the aspiration of a former Governor of Lagos State, Mr Bola Tinubu.

The clerics said that Nigeria needed a politician in the calibre of Tinubu to become the next president of the country.

The clergymen stated this in a statement by the Coordinator-General, Joseph Francis of Delta and Deputy Coordinator, Apostle Chris Ebhodaghe of Edo, and made available to newsmen in Benin on Monday.

The group urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure that Tinubu got the party’s ticket.
