The Inter Party Advisory Council, has charged political leaders to discharge their constitutional duties without fear or favour and fulfil their campaign promises.
IPAC gave this charge in its New Year message to Nigerians signed by its National Chairman-elect, Yusuf Mamman Dantalle.
He told the current administration that they were elected to solve problems and they are not make spurious excuses not to live up to the billings.
The Council equally noted that the tasks ahead were challenging and would require exceptional patriotism, political sagacity, leadership acumen and tenacity of purpose to combat.
Speaking on how to tackle the problems of insecurity, turn around the economy, improve infrastructure, provide jobs, maintain social cohesion, boost the people’s standards of living and move the nation forward, leaders must focus on the job they were elected to do.
“Leadership is a deep and heavy responsibility, accordingly, all elected public officers are mandated to discharge their constitutional duties without fear or favour and fulfill their campaign promises to the people without excuses,” the statement added.
IPAC explained that 2023; is memorable one to the people of Nigeria, noting that despite the crisis emanating from the general election, economic recession induced by the removal of fuel subsidy, devaluation of naira and insecurity across the nation, Nigerians remained resilient, surmounted all odds and expressed abiding faith in the fatherland.
“It is in view of this that IPAC set up a Peer Review Mechanism to monitor the achievements of elected public officers in delivering fruits of democracy to the people across the nation,” it added.
