National chairman of the Allied People’s Movement (APM), Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, has admonished Nigerians to use the opportunity of the 2023 general election to take the country out of the grip of those he described as clueless rulers
The chairman who made the appeal while addressing stakeholders of the APM at its national Convention in Abuja noted thst the party has fielded credible candidates in all the elective positions ahead of the 2023 elections, adding that
APM is the only political party that fielded a female presidential candidate in the country.
Dantalle, who was returned as the national chairman, described the party’s presidential candidate, Her Excellency, Princess Chichi Ojei, as a prominent Delta State born politician and astute administrator.
“The Party is gender and youth friendly, and will go into the general election to win and rescue Nigeria from the hands of the cabal and political hirelings masquerading as democrats who have held citizens hostage and inflicted maximum sufferings on them through ill-conceived policies and actions
“I give glory to Almighty Allah for the privilege given to us to witness and be part of this historic occasion, the Second National Convention of our great Party, the Allied People’s Movement (APM) in which new National Officers emerged in accordance with the Party Constitution registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“I am humbled by your overwhelming support and confidence in my leadership of our great Party in the last four years resulting in my re-election today as the National Chairman, along with other National Officers of the Party.
“I appreciate the cooperation and commitment of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in guiding and monitoring the Party activities in our first tenure in office and hope to witness a robust partnership with the Commission as we jointly strive to consolidate our emerging democracy.
“It is obvious that the state of the nation is bad, so bad that citizens are killed, kidnapped and tortured daily as governments at all levels woefully failed to protect and secure the populace in clear violation of Section 14(2)b of the 1999 Constitution as amended, which states that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government. Sadly, Nigerians have experienced more carnage than dividends of democracy since 1999 the nation returned to representative governance.
“The forthcoming 2023 general election provides another opportunity to save the nation from clueless leadership. Our great Party fielded credible candidates to contest various offices. APM is the only political party that fielded a female presidential candidate in the country, Her Excellency, Princess Chichi Ojei, a prominent Delta State born politician and astute administrator. The Party is gender and youth friendly, and will go into the general election to win and rescue Nigeria from the hands of the cabal and political hirelings masquerading as democrats
“With the emergence of new leadership of the Party and candidates for the 2023 polls, APM is set for nationwide campaigns in September in line with INEC guidelines for 2023 general election. A formidable Presidential Campaign Council will soon be announced, the same way various Governorship and Legislative Campaign Councils will be set up to ensure resounding victory for all APM candidates.
“Nigerians have suffered enough from recycled politicians who have nothing to offer except pains, depression and confusion that have impoverished our dear country and turned this giant of Africa into the poverty capital of the world besieged by terrorists, insurgents, bandits, militants and kidnappers.
“Allied People’s Movement if voted into power in 2023 will turnaround the destiny of our bewildered nation and restore its prestige in the comity of nation’s.
“The Party promises a breath of fresh air in governance and compassionate leadership, a departure from the maximum dictatorship of the outgoing All Progressives Congress-led government. Power will be returned to the people on whom sovereignty resides. Nigerians shall be free again.
“Together, we will rebuild our nation, our students will return to school, our youth will be gainfully employed, our economy will bounce back, Naira strengthened and appreciate regularly. Nigerians will live in peace together as one people”
