Economic hardship and social alienation that are major issues in Nigeria now, are not found only among our uneducated, nonskilled and jobless Igbo youths, and uneducated almajiri in the North, and our tens of thousands of young people who can't get jobs after NYSC. They strike into the homes of more than two million of our fellow Nigerians who live in poverty and have gained momentum during the last twenty five years. All come together now to pose great security challenges to which all of us as a nation must respond together.
APGA don't pretend there are easy solutions to these challenges, no there are not. We don't suggest that a rash of election promises is all that's needed to meet these cha11enges, no they won't.
And I do not claim that our Government can produce some magic formula overnight to correct all the mistakes of the past 30 years, relieve all the hardships, and remove all the disunity created in Nigeria since 1914, no, we can't.
Rather what APGA do offer, what we can promise is a more equal, a fairer, and a better Nigerian society than all of us have known in the last fifty five years.
Our country Nigeria has tremendous potential. Its development of our industries and our great mineral resources suggests there is nothing we can't achieve in the years ahead if we put in the right government.
What we have to ensure is the economic security of Nigerian families just as much as the physical security of our nation under responsible national leadership administering fair and sensible national policies.
The important thing, the urgent thing, is to deal not only with our specific problems like Boko Haram, but to restore a sense of unity, purpose and direction for the entire country.
