“Our economy is in the doldrums, education has virtually collapsed, and insecurity has become pervasive with several of our country men and women, mowed down daily by criminal elements.

“Obviously, we cannot keep silence in the face of evil and daunting challenges. ADP has stepped in to change the narrative. We are determined to rebuild Nigeria into an egalitarian nation where tribe and religion will never be factors that determine a citizen level of attainment”, he said.

Responding, Chairman of the committee, Senator Owei said the panel was in accordance with the genuine move of the party to raise up a new generation of party faithful and Nigerians for the party to rescue the country from what he described as avoidable hardship.
