- By Muideen Olaniyi Borno elders to Buhari: Your decision on June 12 apt

Corruption and poor policy response to the yearnings and aspiration­s of the Nigerian masses, especially in the area of human capital developmen­t, have led to deplorable poverty, National Chairman of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Engr. Yabagi Yusuf Sani, has said.

Engr. Sani said this yesterday in Abuja while addressing journalist­s at the ADP national headquarte­rs on the one year anniversar­y of the party.

Sani said corruption and poor policy response were the major causes of insecurity of various forms in the country, promising that his party would address the issues when voted into power.

He said the party had developed an economic blueprint anchored on free trade and private sector participat­ion as the core driver of the economy.

The party pledged to implement a new policy on trade and investment that would open up opportunit­ies for local and foreign investors

“When we come to power, we shall change the structure of the economy from its purposeles­s colonial foundation to a more productive economy.

The ADP national chairman advised that it was more profitable and time-saving to truncate the system that bred corruption, stressing that the party had developed the strategy to engage in total reforms of the bureaucrac­ies to address the challenge.
