Loyalty to Who?
In Nigeria, loyalty is often misused for self-interest rather than the nation. We must shift focus back to the Constitution and the people’s welfare. A new, accountable Nigeria is achievable
Loyalty to Who?
Today in Abuja, I attended the book launch of "The Loyalist" by Hon. Bolaji Abdullahi @BolajiADC, spokesperson for the ADC. The subject of loyalty in Nigeria is of utmost importance. We live in a nation where many elites in leadership positions demonstrate little to no loyalty to the country, its Constitution, its unity, its progress, or the welfare of its citizens.
Instead, their loyalty often lies with self-interest and the reckless looting of public resources. It is disheartening that those who choose to uphold loyalty to the Constitution, advocate for good governance, and prioritise the well-being of the people are frequently marginalised, victimised, or ostracised.
Our political landscape is marked by a selfish interpretation of loyalty, rather than genuine loyalty to the nation.
I commend Hon. Bolaji Abdullahi for this work.
I remain firmly committed to the unity of Nigeria, respect for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the welfare of our citizens.
A new Nigeria is not just a dream; it is absolutely achievable. -PO
