Accord Party (AP) has charged the Federal Government to prioritise security and economic welfare of citizens.
The National Chairman, Maxwell Mgbudem, in a statement yesterday, urged the military to sustain the war against terrorism, insurgency, banditry, militancy and kidnapping.
He maintained that it was the only way citizens could hand over to future generations a banner without stain, just as the founding fathers handed independence over to citizens.
Mgbudem also charged citizens to remain in one accord as the country celebrates the historic occasion that restored self-governance to the country.
He said: “Let us keep hope alive and continue to water and nurture the tree of democracy to maturity to yield its abundant fruits and dividends to the people.
“Accord stands with Nigerians in building a better and greater society, where no man or woman is oppressed, and will hand to our children and future generations, a banner without stain.
“In this regard, the party urges governments at all levels to ensure the security and welfare of the people in accordance with Section 14(2)b of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended, which provides that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.
