Ethnic nationalities, under the auspices of the Conference of Autochthonous Ethnic Communities Development Association (CONECDA), have presented a charter of demands to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Their demands were on what they would want him to do if he is elected into office.

This was when the wife of the Presidential candidate, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, during her visit to Jos where she met with the leadership of the indigenous groups, Christian religious leaders and also held a Town Hall meeting with stakeholders at the weekend.

At the Town Hall meeting, which was hosted by the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council and Governor of Plateau State Simon Bako Lalong, the Charter was presented by Professor Yusufu Turaki.

He said the charter of demands was developed for the political class particularly those seeking the highest office in the land in order to highlight the challenges of the people of the ethnic nationalities who are often left behind in national governance.

Dr. Zuwaqhu Bonat, National Coordinator of CONECDA, said the general economic, social, and security situation of Nigeria have grossly impacted on the lives of the people of the middle belt where the ethnic nationalities exist.

He said apart from insecurity, there is high unemployment, poverty, food insecurity and crises that are often violent.
