Action Alliance Candidate Promises to Tackle Poverty and Boost Economy

The presidential candidate of the Action Alliance, Adekunle Omoaje, has promised to boost Nigeria's economy, end poverty, and create jobs if he wins the election.

He made these promises on Saturday during the launch of his presidential campaign at Babanla Agate Ward, his home area in Ede, Osun State, as stated in a release from Kaduna.

The campaign event kicked off with special prayers led by Islamic scholars, Christian leaders, and traditionalists.

The ceremony saw many politicians, business leaders, unionists, artisans, and traders from different regions of the country in attendance. AA leaders, including the party’s Osun State chairman, Kazeem Araoye, presided over the event.

Omoaje spoke to supporters, saying his government would create policies to tackle Nigeria's economic problems, focusing on generating jobs, reducing poverty, and fighting corruption.

"My agenda for Nigeria covers all sectors of the economy. I am determined to end the economic crisis currently ravaging the nation," he stated.

He also assured that Nigerian youths would have access to good job opportunities.

On security, Omoaje promised to address insecurity and create a safe environment for Nigerians to live and travel without fear.

He mentioned plans to cut down the number of ministers and political appointees. He also proposed appointing Presidential Liaison Officers in all 774 local government areas to enhance the Federal Government's presence at the local level.

Omoaje suggested that all roads in Nigeria should be classified as federal roads. He believes this would help fix the gaps in infrastructure development.

The candidate added that the party would hold bigger campaign rallies across all six geopolitical zones and in Abuja to gather support for the 2027 election.

He urged Nigerians to back his presidential bid and expressed confidence that he would win the election.
