Former National Chairman of Labour Party, Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, on Monday explained why Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA) was formed.
Speaking at the unveiling of the Interim National Executive Committee (NEC) in Abuja, he explained that the party was a convergence of patriotic citizens who were committed to the indivisibility and corporate existence of Nigeria.
He also said that the party’s members were determined to enrich true federalism, social inclusion, national cohesion and public trust in governance.
“The party I am unveiling today on behalf of us is ideologically roofed”, Nwanyanwu said.
“It seeks to address all the fundamental issues that will keep Nigerians united, with every citizen having a sense of equality, justice, protection, belonging and fair play.
“We are determined to present to Nigerians a political party that will be highly disciplined, provide the level-playing field to all its members and remove every trace of godfatherism”.
“APDA stands for social democracy with efficient and sustainable public sector services delivered as its primary focus”.
He alleged that many of the established political parties in the country were recycling old leaders, repeating old rhetoric and reabsorbing the same old and moribund way of doing things.
He assured that when registered, APDA would give priority to women, youths and the disabled.
“The party is yours; the future is yours and that future is today, not tomorrow. This has been guaranteed by our constitution”.
