The Allied People’s Movement (APM) has said it has developed a comprehensive governance blueprint aimed at revamping Nigeria’s economy, tackling insecurity and delivering what it described as people-centred governance if elected into office in 2027.
In a statement issued on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Abubakar Yusuf, the opposition party said the proposed blueprint would revive the productive sector, rebuild critical infrastructure, stimulate economic growth and restore citizens’ confidence in government.
According to the party, the blueprint also contains far-reaching measures to reform Nigeria’s security architecture, combat terrorism and other forms of criminality, and guarantee the safety of lives and property across the country.
The APM accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of governing the country without a coherent economic agenda over the past decade, particularly in the last three years, alleging that poor policy choices, corruption and what it described as anti-people measures had worsened economic hardship.
The party claimed that rising inflation, unemployment, deteriorating infrastructure and insecurity had pushed millions of Nigerians into poverty, while increasing the cost of living and forcing many businesses to shut down or relocate.
It also expressed concern over the continued exit of multinational companies from Nigeria, attributing the development to insecurity, multiple taxation and an unfavourable business environment.
The opposition party further lamented the increasing migration of skilled Nigerian professionals abroad, popularly referred to as the “Japa” phenomenon, warning that the trend had severely affected key sectors, particularly healthcare and education.
On public finance, the APM criticised the Federal Government’s borrowing profile, alleging that the country’s rising debt burden was mortgaging the future of Nigerians without commensurate improvements in infrastructure or public services.
It maintained that its governance blueprint would prioritise industrialisation, youth employment, agriculture, power, oil and gas, manufacturing, education, healthcare, housing and other critical sectors to drive sustainable economic growth.
The party also pledged to strengthen anti-corruption measures, promote transparency and accountability in public service, and create an enabling environment capable of attracting both local and foreign investment.
The APM assured Nigerians that the full details of its policy document would be unveiled at the appropriate time ahead of the 2027 general elections.
It added that, if elected, it would pursue policies anchored on good governance, social justice, respect for the rule of law, protection of citizens’ rights and inclusive national development.
The party urged Nigerians to support what it described as a new vision for the country, insisting that its blueprint offers a credible alternative to the current administration’s economic and governance policies.
