Good afternoon, members of the press.
Thank you for being here. Moments ago, Arc. Dr. Peter Agada formally submitted his nomination form to contest for the presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under the Labour Party in the upcoming general elections.
This submission is not about ceremony. It’s about a decision that millions of Nigerians have already made in their hearts: for a clean break from the past, a clear severance from the political oligarchist, and a recalibration of Nigeria political system. That it is time for competence, integrity, credibility, capacity, by reason of a strategic workable plan, and a government that works for the people, through those who knows what, when and how to do the work at the right time, for full benefits of all.
*Why Dr. Agada?*
Dr. Agada comes from the Middle Belt, the food basket, geographic epicenter, and cultural heart of Nigeria. The Middle Belt knows what it means to hold this country together when tensions rise. It is a region of farmers, teachers, engineers, and traders who want nothing more than peace to work and a government that works to protects that peace.
As an architect and academic, Dr. Agada has spent his career solving real problems with limited resources, equipped with residual power of imagination. He understands that governance is design work: if the foundation is weak, no amount of painting will make the building stand. That is why he is running, to reengineer the political and economic structure of Nigeria.
*The agenda for Nigeria*
1. *A productive economy*: We will prioritize infrastructural development by fixing power, roads, rails, and ports so that Nigerian businesses can run, produce and compete. The goal is jobs, not handouts. SMEs will get access to credit without needing a godfather.
2. *Security with accountability*: No economy grows where farmers abandon their farms and children cannot go to school safely. Our security plan is intelligence-driven, community-based, and fully audited. No more blank checks with no results
3. *Education and health as public goods*: Dr. Agada was taught in Nigerian universities. He knows firsthand how underfunded systems break the country’s future. We will treat teachers, lecturers, and health workers as national priorities, not afterthoughts.
4. *Unity through equity*: The Middle Belt has paid the price for Nigeria’s divisions. Our government will not play ethnic or religious politics. Appointments, projects, and policies will follow one test: does it move Nigeria forward for all Nigerians?
5. *Transparent governance*: Nigerians are tired of vague promises. Every major policy will be published with its cost, timeline, and expected outcome. If we fall short, we will say why.
*Next steps*
Over the next weeks we will roll out detailed plans on agriculture, manufacturing, power reform, and youth innovation. We will hold town halls in every zone because Nigeria is too big to be governed from one office in Abuja.
To the press: Ask us the hard questions. We welcome scrutiny because we have nothing to hide.
To Nigerians: Arc. Dr. Peter Agada is not promising miracles. He is promising a government that respects you, your rights, your talent, your time, your money, and your intelligence. A government that treats the Middle Belt, the North, the South, the East, and the West as one country with one SECURED FUTURE.
The form has been submitted. The work begins now. NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS TO JOIN THIS CHARIOT!
Thank you.
