The National Chairman of National Rescue Movement, NRM, Amb Isaac Ude says why Nigeria is high need of a third force like National Rescue Movement, NRM to rescue it from the present woes. Ahead of the next round of national election in 2023, many Nigerians are saying that neither the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) nor the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is good enough for the future of Nigeria. Amb Ude stated.
The thinking is that the Nigeria of 21st Century needs a forward-looking party to take it on the journey of tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the seeming failure of the APC government and Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has re-echoed clamour for change. While Nigerians appear not interested in PDP either, others have advocated for a realignment of third force.
The need for an alternative platform in 2023 has become imperative.
Amb Isaac Ude National Chairman of NRM urged Nigerians not to vote for the APC and PDP henceforth, alleging that the two major political parties have destroyed everything, and are like Siamese twins of corruption and that it was high time Nigerians looked for a credible alternative.
The bad things these parties committed in those past years, Nigerians should never give their trust to them again. It is now very clear that these parties will never change, even if they are given another chance.
The APC and PDP have formed governments; we were all witnesses their poor and failed performance. They did not come with good intentions to make amends. If you look at the fight against corruption, all these corrupt people that were supposed to be prosecuted sneaked into the APC,” Ude said.
According to Ambassador Ude, National Rescue Movement, NRM is the third force that is coming to rescue Nigeria from current economic and security challenges, i think the third force would solve our problems. When APC came to power people were talking about alternative, change, but look at them now, total failure.

Furthermore, it exposes us (politiicians) as incaplable of giving Nigeria good Governance.
