The presidential candidate of the Zenith Labour Party, Dan Nwanyanwu, has placed provision of security and fight against corruption at the centre of his 2027 campaign agenda, promising sweeping reforms if elected president in the next general election.
Nwanyanwu made the remarks on Saturday after emerging as the party’s presidential candidate at the ZLP national convention in Abuja, where he presented his priorities for national governance ahead of the 2027 polls.
His emergence adds to the growing list of contenders positioning for the presidency as political parties intensify preparations for what is expected to be a highly competitive election cycle.
Addressing delegates and supporters, the ZLP flag bearer said insecurity had become a major obstacle to national stability, stressing that the situation had weakened public confidence in government and hindered economic activity.
“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.
