#2019: APC, PDP, ANRP Release Plans For Security

Plans and strategies for security were today released by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP)  ahead of the 2019 elections.

The plans were reeled out at the Nigerian Political Parties Discussions Series organised by the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) supported by the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) in Abuja.

Mr Osita Chidoka, a spokesman of PDP Presidential Campaign Council, described lack of identity as the biggest reason for insecurity in the country.

He explained that there is no record available on criminal activities of mischievous people.

“The PDP will change the security sector first by moving from a state centric security architecture to people centric architecture; our focus is to move away from guns to public safety.

“We must begin to measure our output in security in terms of how secure Nigerians are by delivering public safety across all parameters.

“That is why the PDP’s plan is focused on reducing the over centralisation of the Nigerian security force.
