Agada Unveils Tech-Driven Security Plan, Declares Labour Party Crisis Over

A Labour Party presidential aspirant, Peter Agada, has pledged to tackle insecurity in Nigeria through the deployment of technology if elected president in 2027, declaring that the internal crisis within the party has been resolved.

Agada made the declaration on Wednesday during the submission of his nomination form at the Labour Party headquarters in Abuja.

Speaking shortly after submitting the form, the aspirant said insecurity across the country could be drastically reduced through the strategic use of technology and innovative governance.

He also promised to unite members of the party through dialogue, noting that efforts were already underway to reconcile aggrieved stakeholders and strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to him, he had developed a policy document known as “Labour.com,” which he described as a comprehensive roadmap for Nigeria’s development.

Agada said he had previously presented the document to past administrations without success, adding that the time had come for Nigerians to benefit from the ideas and strategies contained in the blueprint.

“This is the time to showcase that roadmap for the benefit of Nigerians,” he said.
The presidential hopeful also urged Nigerian youths to take ownership of their future by supporting leaders who understand their aspirations.

He promised to create jobs, improve security, and deliver progress across key sectors of the economy if given the mandate to lead the country.

In his remarks, the Benue State Chairman of the Labour Party and Leader of the North-Central Party Chairmen, William Okeife Ochonu, described Agada as a tested and trusted politician capable of uniting the party and repositioning the country.

Represented by his aide, Hon. Orin John, Ochonu said the North-Central region was fully behind Agada’s aspiration.

“On behalf of the North-Central states chairmen — Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau and the FCT — we are here to witness this historic moment and support a candidate who represents competence, character and compassion,” he said.

Ochonu stated that the region was tired of “broken promises” and ready to support a movement aimed at rebuilding Nigeria.

“The Labour Party represents the hope of ordinary Nigerians — the trader in Mararaba, the farmer in Makurdi, the youth in Jos, and the teacher in Minna who simply want a decent life,” he added.

He further pledged the full mobilisation of party structures and supporters across the North-Central zone in support of Agada’s presidential ambition.

Also speaking, the Ogun State Chairman of the party, Olaolu Samuel, said Agada’s emergence reflected the growing demand for inclusive leadership from the Middle Belt region.

According to him, a potential Agada presidency would prioritise economic productivity, accountable security, quality education, healthcare, transparent governance, and national unity.

Samuel added that detailed policy plans on agriculture, manufacturing, power reforms and youth innovation would be unveiled in the coming weeks.
