Dear Compatriots,
Every great journey in fulfillment of a dream begins with a single step. We have started ours and we invite you to join us to be part of this epochal journey. Our fathers fought and obtained independence for us. Their lofty dreams were built on the promise of a better tomorrow. For the past fifty years, we have hoped and struggled to make those dreams a reality.
Our nation’s recent golden jubilee celebrations, although marred by unfortunate loss of lives, provided the backdrop for a sober reflection on our journey these past fifty years, and also an examination of the policies of the ruling party since 1999. The overwhelming consensus is that we have underperformed given the country’s enormous endowment in both human and material resources. The nation’s social and economic indicators are startlingly weak. Regional and civil conflicts are on the rise, threatening social cohesion and national security. Ordinary Nigerians are beginning to question the value of democracy and even the necessity of staying together as one people in a country where things no longer seem to work.
We are on the threshold of another general election, the fourth since the restoration of democracy. I believe this is an opportunity for change, to orientate our shared values into restoring the foundations of our nation. I believe it is possible to build a united Nigeria devoid of ethnic or religious conflicts; a Nigeria where the well-being of the people is of paramount importance; a Nigeria that inspires the highest level of patriotism in her citizens. I believe that it is possible to ensure justice for the people, the security of lives and property, and the peace and stability which would engender growth and development.
Today, we have a great opportunity to right the wrongs of the past and make meaning of our political independence. We have embarked on this struggle because we believe in the lofty idea that every Nigerian should be proud to call this country home.
This is our chance as young and patriotic Nigerians to make a difference. We do not claim to be the only repository of knowledge and ideas of what this country needs to move forward, but we dare to dream. Come and parley with us so that together can find answers to our problems.
Join us at the Gamji Multipurpose Hall, Hassan Usman Katsina Park (formerly Gamji Gate) Swimming Pool Road, behind Police College in Kaduna on Friday, March 11, at 9.am.
Looking forward to meeting you.
