The presidential candidate of the Zenith Labour Party, Dan Nwanyanwu, has pledged to tackle Nigeria’s insecurity and corruption if elected in the 2027 general election, saying both challenges have weakened national development and public confidence in government.
Nwanyanwu made the pledge on Saturday after emerging as the party’s presidential candidate at the ZLP national convention, where he outlined his priorities for what he described as Nigeria’s most pressing national challenges.
Addressing delegates, he said insecurity had become a major threat to national stability and economic growth.
“We have reached a point where insecurity has become a source of national embarrassment. Citizens no longer feel safe in many parts of the country, and confidence in the ability of government to protect lives and property has been severely weakened,” he said.
He warned that no country could achieve meaningful development under persistent insecurity.
