Amb. Isaac Chigozie Udeh is the new chairman of the National Rescue Movement (NRM), which has promised Nigerians low cost of living, rapid development and transformation, if it wins the 2023 Presidential election.
Udeh took over along with other executives on Friday.
At a news conference to mark the change of baton, Udeh said his mission for the party and for the country is to reduce poverty in Nigeria and reposition the country for rapid growth and development.
He said that the party had come to restore smiles on the faces of Nigerians by enhancing the living condition of the average Nigerian, beyond the minimum wage.
“And this is the only party that has Nigerians at heart to reduce the current high cost of living because it is a grassroots based political party by its foundation and structures,” he said.
Udeh said that the party has put together strategies, plans and policies to ensure economic stability, enhance agricultural growth, and boost the health system, amongst others.
He appealed to Nigerians across the country and in the diaspora to support the party in order to enjoy a people-oriented government come 2023.
The outgoing Chairman of the party, Alhaji Usman Jikamshi, lauded the conduct of party members at its last convention which ushered the new set of executives.
Jikamshi urged the new executives to uphold the party’s tenet and deliver on its mandate to secure the seat of the president in the 2023 general election.
Mr Sola Afuye, National Publicity Secretary of the party, called on all aspirants interested in running for office at all levels under the party platform to purchase its forms.
