YPP's Peter Agada Demands Concrete Plans from Candidates

Arc. Dr. Peter Agada, the presidential candidate for the Young Progressives Party (YPP), called on political candidates to present measurable and time-bound plans to address Nigeria's challenges during an interactive session with journalists in Abuja. He criticized the tendency of elected officials to focus on identifying problems and forming committees instead of implementing programs with defined objectives and timelines.

Agada stated that political campaigns in Nigeria often resemble poetry contests, lacking concrete plans. He urged candidates to provide specific figures, timelines, and implementation strategies for their proposed policies, particularly in areas like job creation and healthcare.

Agada also highlighted the importance of better coordination among government agencies to ensure that infrastructure projects are supported by necessary facilities and services. He advocated for greater public access to information on government projects and stronger public monitoring to combat issues like abandoned projects and delays.

Agada encouraged candidates to subject their manifestos to public scrutiny and provide evidence of their policy implementation plans.
