Full Text
Nimba County District 7 Representative, Musa Hassan Bility, claimed that the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) and Unity Party combined votes in the 2023 general election are 1.4 million.
He is convinced that a new movement must be formed rather than relying on the two political parties.
Representative Bility is also the Political Leader of the newly established Citizens Movement for Change.
He claimed 2:00:00 to 2:01:23 on a popular nighttime talk show, “Spoon Talk.”
