  "account": "Esther Okereke, the presidential candidate of the National Rescue Movement, has pledged to alleviate Nigeria's issues of insecurity, hunger, unemployment, and despair if elected in the 2027 general elections. On Tuesday, she inaugurated the party's Presidential Campaign Council, stating it marks the beginning of a \"rescue team\" for the country. She emphasized that Nigerian politics has historically centered around power-sharing, but her vision is to focus on prosperity-sharing. Okereke criticized the current campaign approach, saying it's been about noise, and instead, her campaign will emphasize structure, evidence, and peace. She identified NRM as the party seeking to address Nigeria's challenges, describing it as a \"rescue\" from darkness, hunger, insecurity, joblessness, and hopelessness. The party's principles encompass legality, constitutionalism, accountability, transparency, unity, peaceful participation, and the rule of law. The campaign council, chaired by Prince Chinedu Obi and co-chaired by Okereke, is structured to operate from the national level down to the polling units, with various levels of governance and officials.",
