In a message addressed to the citizens of Nigeria, IPAC underscored that tackling the challenges of insecurity, economic revitalization, infrastructure development, job creation, social cohesion, elevation of living standards, and national progress requires leaders to wholeheartedly focus on the mandate for which they were elected.

Reflecting on the past year, IPAC acknowledged the significance of the year to the Nigerian populace, acknowledging the resilience exhibited by citizens in the face of political tension and uncertainty during the general election, economic downturn amplified by the elimination of fuel subsidies, currency devaluation, and widespread insecurity across the nation. Despite these challenges, Nigerians demonstrated resilience, overcame adversities, and showcased enduring faith in the nation.
