According to him, Section 14(2) (b) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended stated that ”the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government”

He said ”the reason why ethnicity, tribalism and religion is taken centre stage in the society can be attributed to inability to effectively implement public policies that positively  impact on the lives of Nigerians.

”If the roads and schools are functioning properly, health sector is performing well and security is guaranteed.  Jobs are created to reduce unemployment , corruption properly checked by regulatory agencies of government to protect consumers.

”Nigerians will careless about tribe, religion and ethnicity because performance has a way of attracting love from the masses, ‘he said.

Okorie appealed to the Federal, State and Local Government to collaborate with APPA to protect consumers, adding that when policies are rightly implemented the society benefits.
