It appealed to the political class and all contending interest groups to eschew violence and acts capable of impinging on the corporate existence the country.
“APDA congratulates all persons that have promoted peaceful coexistence and encourages the government to heed to the growing calls for the constitutional review of the existing governance structures,” it said.
The party felicitated with Nigerians at home and in the diaspora on the country’s 57 years of independence and 18 years of return to democratic governance.
“APDA calls on Nigerians to pray for the sustenance of our growing democracy.
“We urge all and sundry to re-dedicate their commitments to ensuring the unity and faith in our nation as espoused by the coat-of-arms.

The party also appealed especially to women, youths and persons-living-with-disabilities to get involved in the political process.
