The Accord Party has urged the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government to effectively tackle insecurity, economic hardship and power supply this year.
The party also called for prayers, peace, tolerance and patriotism among the citizens, adding that all hands must be on deck in the quest for good governance and progressive leadership.
The party, in a goodwill message to Nigerians signed by Maxwell Mgbudem, its National Chairman, noted that Nigerians undoubtedly had tough times in the past year following the removal of oil subsidy and floating of the naira which led to the high cost of living with an inflation rate of 34.6%, the highest in several decades.
“This will be achieved if we set aside partisan and primordial interests, be in one accord and foster sustainable development that will improve the well-being of citizens. A robust democracy depends on the equal and active participation of the populace,” the statement added.
“Accord urges the Federal Government to sit up and create an enabling
environment for economic development, women and youth empowerment, food sufficiency, power supply and political stability.
“There cannot be progress without national security. The fight against terrorism, insurgency, banditry, militancy, kidnapping etc, should be intensified and crushed in 2025.
“Security agencies should be well equipped and motivated to discharge their constitutional duties. We note with pride the progress made so far and urge our gallant soldiers on the front lines to push for total victory. Our thoughts and prayers are with them in restoring public safety and order.
“Join us to hold governments at all levels accountable. It is the only way to strengthen the nation’s democracy and return power to the people on who sovereignty resides.”
