Maik Ayo
listen to a comprehensive eye witness account, the experience was
terrifying. All will agree with me that all of us present at that
meeting have taken a bold step towards libration from misinformation.
The necessity is now laid upon us to spread the campaign to the
extremities of this nation. May God help us as we spread the message
and make Nigeria a better place for us. Wish us all the best. Long
live CAFSO!
