Dr. Damsump Danjuma, who read a speech on his behalf maintained that he would radically transform Nigeria, security architecture to work for the people.

He said, “I respectfully urge you our comrades to ensure that our votes count in the 2023 elections and that the Labour Party remains our choice.

“The LP government will tackle every labour dispute that has to do with Nigerians and workers with utmost respect and sincerity. There will be a radical transformation of our security and intelligence architecture.“I will ensure adequate remuneration and welfare of the Nigerian worker and advance the overhauls of our decade infrastructure, especially power, roads, railway etc to boasts economic and entrepreneurial drives nationally.

“I will transform our agricultural system to modern mechanization and developing the family to improve the value chain. I will also transform our education system to meet our Nigeria requirements and compete with the global challenge. Above all, our cardinal objective will be the creation of job opportunities for our teeming youth and graduates and artisans.

He said that all of these has undermined the the dictate of chapter two of the Nigerian constitution that tasked the government on good welfare for the people, and better living conditions, which he said has totally collapse because the All Progressives Congress government has failed.
