Building a New Nigeria

Yesterday, Saturday, 14th February, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, I attended the meeting of the ADC and the Obidient Movement. In my address at the gathering, I emphasised the importance of unity, calling on all of us to work together as one family toward the common goal of building a new Nigeria.

Nigeria must be led by leaders who are competent, compassionate, and committed — leaders who prioritise development, security, education, healthcare, poverty reduction, and creating opportunities for our youth. Our politics must shift from mere consumption to production, harnessing our nation’s resources to generate wealth and prosperity for all.

But achieving this requires a renewal of character and accountability. Those who aspire to be called “honourable” must truly act honourably; those who seek to be addressed as “His Excellency” must embody excellence; and those who aim to be “distinguished” must live distinguished lives. Let this be the standard for our leaders and a guiding principle for all citizens committed to the nation's progress.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
