Stanley Osifo, an aspirant for the All Progressives Congress presidential ticket says if elected, his government will tackle Nigeria’s security challenges differently from the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“I promise to tackle Nigeria’s insecurity differently and decisively if elected in 2023 as Nigeria’s President,” Mr Osifo stated in Lagos on Monday.

“I want Nigerians and the world to know that I am very much in the race to be president to serve my country and its people. I plan to improve on infrastructure and the economy, with defeating insecurity as a prime objective.

“I want to handle the issue of security challenges differently with the aim of achieving lasting peace in different parts of Nigeria,” the aspirant stated.

Mr Osifo also boasted that he would give priority to sustainable programmes that uplift the masses, boost job creation and “ensure fair and equal treatment of Nigerians irrespective of class, creed, ethnicity or socio-political leaning.

According to him, his administration will invest in tested social programmes for elderly people and engage the youth to distract them from crime and violence.
