Senator Ikeyina says;

"Nigerians have tried the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and they have failed them. So, the SDP is providing the needed alternative that can deliver Nigerians from hardship. The party has what it takes to deliver Nigeria from the logjam caused by many years of bad governance. The two parties have failed and the Third Force is ready to restore hope, by rejuvenating the economy and restoring peace in the country.

We have been hammering on restructuring or what you may call true federalism from the beginning. We believe that Nigeria has had enough schisms here and there, all bothering on resource control. You have the Niger Delta restiveness and the Biafran agitators in Southeast. Even the Fulani herdsmen/farmers clashes are associated issues. We think that what will resolve these issues is that regions should control their wealth and resources and develop at their own pace. Then, you will see these problems disappear. Let the regions be stronger than the centre and you will have peace in Nigeria. I advocated for true federalism as a senator at the Third Assembly. My voice was very loud and I can remember vividly that the late Dr. Alex Ekwueme was in total support. The state of things in Nigeria at moment calls for a consideration of that option. The SDP has restructuring as its mantra.

Nigerians are the ones to answer the question, not the SDP. Nigerians should know if they can trust this government from its antecedents. Has this government been able to deepen democracy? Has it given Nigerians the change it promised? I can only speak for the SDP. I do not know the mind of the government.

It is not late for people to change parties. Just put your ears on the ground, because if you listen to news the SDP has been receiving new groups across the country on a daily basis. When we say that we are the Third Force and that we will usher Nigeria into greatness, we mean it. A lot of people are excited about the new move."
