ZLP Presidential Candidate Dan Nwanyanwu Vows: I’ll Show No Mercy To Agents Of Corruption, Insecurity
Former National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) and also the Zenith Labour Party, Dr. Dan Nwanyanwu, emerged the consensus Presidential Candidate of ZLP, pledging to prioritise national unity, address insecurity and tackle corruption if elected President in the 2027 general elections.
Nwanyanwu emerged the consensus candidate at the party’s National Convention on Saturday in Abuja, and in his acceptance speech vowed to show no leniency to agents behind terrorism and insecurity.
“I will eliminate them without mercy; those arrested will be prosecuted swiftly; their collaborators, enablers and facilitators will be equally prosecuted and punished,” he promised.
Accepting his election, the former National President of bank workers union (NUBIFIE) said: “I want to thank you for this opportunity and I want to assure you that I will make use of this mandate.
“There are few things I will give immortal priority when I emerge president of Nigeria; the first is national unity; Nigerian’s unity has suffered setbacks over the years and our diversity which should be a source of strength has been mismanaged.
“Ethnicity and religious consciousness has deepened to the point of threatening the corporate existence of our country.
“My government will take it as a matter of national emergency to take steps to unite Nigerians by promoting inclusive government, restoration of citizens’ rights and setting up building block across the regions.
“Insecurity has deteriorated. If I am given the mandate by the Nigerian people to become president, I will immediately equip and direct all security agencies to smoke out all insurgents across Nigeria.
“I will eliminate them without mercy; those arrested will be prosecuted swiftly; their collaborators, enablers and facilitators will be equally prosecuted and punished,” he said.
He said that every existing modern technology required to address insecurity in the country would be acquired and fully developed.
Nwanyanwu said that he would send an executive bill to the National Assembly to establish state and community policing to further ensure security of the people.
The Presidential Candidate said that corruption under any guise would not be tolerated or shielded under his administration, as perpetrators would be decisively dealt with.
According to him, individuals and groups with unexplainable affluence would be thoroughly investigated and sanctioned.
