Ahead of the 2023 Presidential Polls, the College of Bishops and Imams have unanimously endorsed the candidature of Reverend Yakubu Pam as the running mate to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC in next year’s polls.
The clergymen who converged on Abuja said its resolve to present Rev Yakubu Pam as the most suitable candidate is hinged on his amiable personality and contributions to peace and development in the country.

The spokesman of the group, Abel Adam, described Yakubu Pam as a man of few words but of a sound mind, a solid administrator and a man who understands what leadership entails.
He said there is no iota of doubt with regards to the suitability of Rev Pam in complimenting the APC presidential ticket, adding that he comes on board with a rich credential in administration.
He said, “As a body of clerics, Rev Yakubu Pam is one of us. Over several decades, he has displayed an unflinching commitment to the unity, progress and growth of the country in several capacities, including Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in the 19 Northern States and the federal capital territory.
“He set worthy leadership examples that we have remained proud of, hence the decision to present to the APC this unique individual that commands tremendous respect across the country for his notable contributions to the good of the common man regardless of ethnic or religious affiliations.
“It remains a statement that Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu needs a running mate that is a bridge-builder and a symbol of unity. These are the attributes of Rev Yakubu Pam that have resonated in all assignments he has undertaken in the cause of service to the country and humanity,” he said.
