According to Nathaniel Ikyur, Ortom’s chief press secretary, all Nigerians, regardless of religious or political affiliation, are interested in finding answers to the country’s problems.

Ortom also praised presidential hopefuls who have indicated interest to serve the country, adding that whoever God chooses to lead should prioritise the country above personal interests.
