Isaac Ositelu, presidential candidate of Accord Party (AP), says he will take Nigeria back to the path of development if elected.

Speaking to reporters in Lagos on Wednesday, Ositelu promised to rebuild Nigeria’s broken infrastructure.

The AP flagbearer disclosed his four-pronged action plan to bring Nigeria economic prosperity, security stability and social order.

He said food security, potable water, affordable healthcare delivery and power are his mandatory deliverables to Nigerians.

Ositelu said any government that focuses on solving the country’s energy crisis would have significantly addressed one of the major challenges facing Nigeria.

Pledging to partner with the legislature, he assured that requisite reforms and constitutional amendments would be undertaken in order to give legal muscle to the revolutionary changes needed in the power sector.

“We all appreciate the importance of power and how its availability can radically change our economy and life generally. But it is very unfortunate that this problem has refused to go, despite all the interventions, both by the previous governments and even the current one,” he said.

“However, we all know that at the center of this failure is leadership and capacity. Let me state once again that we are in this race to rebuild Nigeria and return her to the path of growth and development. We have what it takes to bring back those good old years of competence, excellence, development, respect for human life and dignity and hope.

“Outside power, we all know that other national infrastructures are in dire straits and nobody is doing anything to reverse this ugly situation that has remained for so long.

“On our honor, we promise to immediately commence this reconstruction of our great country from many years of brokenness that has left our people confused, skeptical and alienated. In the days ahead, we will unveil our blueprint.

“We are confident of victory because the masses are with us. So, we are driving our campaign in agreement with long-suffering Nigerian citizens who are tired of promises that lead to nowhere.”
