ANPP Assures On Peace, Unity

The National Chairman of All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP),
Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, says the party is committed to the unity and peaceful
co-existence of Nigerians.

He made this known in Abuja recently when the Nigerian Youth
Summit Group (NYSG) visited him.

Onu said the party was ready to work with the group to
redeem the image and the lost glory of the country.

He expressed regret that since independence, the country had
faced challenges, which rather than being addressed, became even worse.

He said that Nigeria needed a change which could only be
achieved through the youths who were filled with love, enthusiasm, commitment,
and eager to contribute their quotas to national development.

“ We believe that with the youths, the problem that the
country have today will be solved.

“ We are also happy that you are visiting us today at a time
when the nation is passing through a very difficult time.”

The ANPP chairman assured the group of its total support in
whatever projects the NYSG wanted to embark upon, provided it was for the unity
of the country.

He described Nigeria as a great country that was supposed to
lead not only Africa but the world as a whole.

According to him, this is because of the abundant natural
resources which if properly utilised can make Nigeria one of the best countries
in the world.

He said it was regrettable that virtually all the sectors
had collapsed, especially in the areas of health and education, people now go
abroad for medical treatment and to further their studies.

“ We in ANPP have been calling on all Nigerians to give us
the necessary support, many of the problems confronting the nation are self inflicted
and the problems can be solved.

“ Nigeria can be united and prosperous, that is why we are
calling on Nigerians to give us the support to reposition the country for the
betterment of Nigerians,” he said

In his remarks, the Chairman of the group, Mr Abdullahi
Abdulmajeed, said the group was dedicated to the oneness of Nigeria,
irrespective of the diverse socio-political, ethnic, religious background of
Nigerians.

According to him, Nigeria is faced with challenges ranging
from insecurity, corruption, kidnapping and robbery, which he noted, were not
the case in the past.

He, however, urged the Federal Government to tackle these
menace head long, especially the security challenges.

He said the group’s concern was to rise up and cooperate
with the federal government in its transformational agenda.
