"Federal and State governments should suspend work on all other sectors including infrastructure for the next six months and declare state of emergency on security and hunger in the nation.
The state governor Prof. Charles Soludo also suspend all infrastructural development in their various parts of the States for the next six months and declare state of emergency on security and hunger.


"We, the Labour Party House of Assembly members will relinquish our basic salary for six months to be our contribution to alleviate the suffering of the masses.
In conclusion, we all know that campaign is over and election is over. Majority of Nigerians are suffering. People are dying every day as a result of hunger and insecurity. Thus, there is need for the Federal government and State Governments to adhere to the advice given by our leader Mr. Peter Obi. We must commend our leader His Excellency Mr. Peter Gregory Obi for this selfless effort to ensure the stability and growth of our Nation. It really shows that he is committed to make this nation a better place for all of us.
To the masses, hope is a virtue; we must sustain hope. That is the currency for better tomorrow" they stated.
