Parties challenge the president and governments on people-centric policies

Announcement

The Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) has urged governments at all levels to formulate and implement people-centric policies and projects that will alleviate the suffering of the masses.

The National Chairman of the umbrella body of all registered political parties in Nigeria, Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, in his Eid-el-Kabir message congratulating Muslims and sharing with journalists in Abuja, yesterday stated that the essence of government is to ensure the security and welfare of the nation, in accordance with art. 14 section 2 letter b of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, which states that the security and well-being of the nation are the primary objective of the government. He said Nigerians expect a fair deal from their government, adding that the federal government should effectively address insecurity in the country to pave the way for economic recovery, political stability, socio-religious harmony and sustainable development.

He said Nigeria is the only country “we can call our own, let’s unite, let’s save it together and let’s build a brighter, better and more democratic nation.”

He joined Muslims across the country in congratulating them on this year’s Eid-el Kabir celebrations and urged them to use this opportunity to pray and renew their faith in Allah and the nation.

“IPAC enjoins the Muslim Ummah, and indeed all Nigerians, to imbibe the virtues of obedience, sacrifice, love, tolerance, peace and patriotism as we resolve to build a strong, virile, united, progressive, just and prosperous democratic society,” the message reads.
