The All
Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) has lauded the president-elect, retired
General Muhammadu Buhari on his mission statement, reports ITRealms.
APGA in a press statement made
available to ITRealms and endorsed by its national publicity secretary, Mr Okwukwe Ibiam alluded to General Buhari’s address to the
induction of new legislators of the 8th National Assembly, in Abuja, Wednesday.
“We are particularly intrigued and
elated that the President-elect adopted APGA themes in his address, and commend
the President-elect's proposition to work with the Nigerian Legislature to
increase domicile security across Nigeria; halt the scourge of de-industrialization
for the last 3 decades, resulting in migration of skilled labour to other
countries; focus on Nigerian Economic base re-structuring, including decreased
dependence on oil export revenue; increase Power supply and its general effect
on development of small-scale industries around the federation; eradicate devastation and
environmental degradation of the Niger Delta; and end endemic corruption,” APGA
said.
The party also welcomed specifically
the in-coming administrations' goals, which APGA said its particularly touched
that the President harped on the scourge of de-industrialization for the past 3
decades, and the migration of unemployed skilled labour to other African
countries.
Just as they reminded Buhari it was
his unilateral policy in the 80’s that ended for instance, the issue of
Government policy and De-Industrialization. “Osisioma, a Nigerian industrial
outpost of Aba City, Abia State, is one such de-industrialized location,
suffering heavily secondary to a Buhari unilateral policy in the eighties about 3
decades ago
According to APGA spokesman, the
abandoned factories and steel frame ruins with reeds from overgrown bushes
hanging over them, still lie evident for any to see, especially along the
Osisioma Aba - Port Harcourt expressway.
“Hopefully, this gradually
re-surging town, Osisioma will look to benefit from the proposed
re-industrialization policies of a Buhari Government. A policy favorable to the
local entrepreneurs, who are the architects of the private economic growth in
this region of Nigeria,” he said.
