Ndukuba appealed to political leaders to educate their followers and contribute towards the successful conduct of this year’s election.

According to him, aggrieved candidates who did not agree with the process should seek redress in the court and tribunal rather than resorting to destruction of lives and property.

He urged other church leaders to raise the hope of Nigerians and provide useful information in the present situation in the country.

He assured that the CAN would continue to pray for peace and development in the country.
