- Reaffirms commitment to tackling insecurity
From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja
African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential hopeful, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, on Wednesday, appeared before the party’s presidential screening committee.
The screening exercise, which was chaired by former Cross River State governor, Senator Liyel Imoke, is part of the preparations for the opposition party presidential primary, scheduled for next week.
Hayatu-Deen, while speaking with journalists after the exercise, expressed confidence that the ADC offers the most credible platform for defeating the All Progressives Congress (APC) in next year’s election.
The presidential aspirant, who was former Chairman of the Nigeria Economic Summit Group, said if nominated as the ADC candidate, his campaign would focus on issues affecting citizens.

According to him, said Nigeria can no longer afford politics without direction, especially at a time when millions of citizens are struggling under worsening economic hardship, rising insecurity, and unemployment.
He noted that while political conversations often revolve around personalities and power blocs, Nigerians themselves are increasingly concerned about practical solutions that can improve their daily lives and restore hope in the future.
Hayatu-Deen said “We cannot continue to normalise poverty, fear, and hopelessness as the national condition. This election must be about the future of Nigerian families, about whether people can afford food, whether young people can find jobs, whether farmers can safely return to their farms, and whether businesses can survive and grow again.”
The foremost banker reaffirmed that if elected President, he would give premium to the fight against insecurity, as well as job creation to boost the economy.
