Get Guardian on GoogleThe governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Nasarawa State, Mohammed Adamu, has decried rising poverty, insecurity and inadequate healthcare facilities across Nigeria, calling for a change in leadership priorities to address the growing hardship confronting citizens.
Adamu, who spoke on Monday at the unveiling of the party’s National Campaign Council at its national secretariat in Abuja, said the challenges facing Nigerians required urgent and decisive intervention by governments at all levels.
Adamu, who spoke on behalf of governorship candidates of the party across the country lamented that widespread poverty, security threats and poor access to medical facilities had continued to undermine the welfare of citizens, particularly those in rural communities.
Adamu said it is unfortunate that many Nigerians still struggled to access affordable healthcare, while insecurity and economic hardship continued to threaten livelihoods and deepen the vulnerability of households.
He called on Nigerians to support candidates of the SDP in the forthcoming elections, insisting that the party was committed to addressing the country’s development challenges through purposeful leadership and people-oriented policies.
Adamu urged the electorates to assess candidates based on their commitment to improving security, expanding healthcare delivery, reducing poverty and creating economic opportunities.
He said Nigeria needed leadership that would place the welfare of citizens at the centre of governance and ensure that public resources translated into tangible improvements in people’s well-being.
