Towards this end, the party has lent its support to the Nigerian Judiciary and by extension the Federal government of Nigeria for the historic policy of establishing special courts to fast track the trial of corruption cases in our fatherland.

The APDA has also commended the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of justice, Alhaji Shehu Malami, SAN for his unrelenting effort to bring all the persons who looted or aided in looting our commonwealth to justice.

The party made the commendation in a statement yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Tosin Adeyanju.

The party pointed out that it is of the strong view that corruption is the biggest challenge to the sustainable development of our country and only it’s eradication can return our nation back to the pact of development , national cohesion and social inclusiveness.

The APDA thus applauded the whistle blower policy and urge all Nigerians to stand up and expose corruption and corrupt practices in all its ramifications.

The statement said, ” We thank all Nigerians who have spoken up against the machinations of agents of distablisation and urge all Nigerians to stand together and work towards an indivisible united, peaceful and prosperous nation..

“APDA rejects hate speech and hateful conduct and urge the relevant agencies to resist agents and promoters of hate speech,impunity and disregard for our ethics and values.

“We urge all Nigerians to get their permanent voters cards and ensure that only credible persons are voted into positions of public trust. Please step forward and be counted”, it said.
