PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU (GCFR) A RENEWED HOPE FOR BETTERMENT OF NIGERIAN

PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU (GCFR) A  HOPE FOR BETTERMENT OF NIGERIANS:

By: Hon. Comrade Lukman Olukayode Ahmed

On the 25th of February 2023, millions of Nigerians from all walks of life, across generations and backgrounds, from Bornu to Lagos, Port Harcourt to Sokoto, Kano to Enugu, Taraba to Kwara voted strongly and resolutely to take back their Country. 

They voted, they voted for a Renewed Hope agenda of Mr President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)! 

I most sincerely continue to thank all Nigerians for their genuine belief and commitment that a Renewed Hope is possible through us.

And indeed, it is possible and has started!

During the campaigns, we travelled across this our most blessed and beautiful country Nigeria. We interacted, listened and learnt from you and were most humbled by the millions of young Nigerians who passionately invested their resources, time and life to the call and demand for a Nigeria that works for all. 

We met very genuine and patriotic Nigerians who eagerly volunteered and gave whatever they can for a Renewed Hope. 

Their genuine and emotional commitments were not based on religion, tribe, gender, class or any of the sentiments that divide us. It was based on the honest desire and belief for a Renewed Hope where the freedoms and potentials of our greatly endowed country and her youths will be supported to create an inclusive, sustainable, growing and progressive Nation.

With increasing poverty, insecurity, corruption, unemployment, and failing educational and health systems, the general state of our dear country and economy is troubling. 

It will only serve to exacerbate our sad situation, frustration of the people and the deterioration of the country. 

History has taught us that the destruction of a society can be gradual or sudden through deliberate manipulation of the rule of law and suppression of the will of the people. 

However, rather than dampen our spirit, we are doubly inspired by the creativity, passion, patriotism, and relentless optimism of Nigerians particularly our youths on the need and urgency of a Renewed Hope. 

It is a demand that its time has come.

While we are all aware and can see the deliberate and unpatriotic efforts to stop our march to freedom, please be assured that while we can be delayed, a Renewed Hope Will Never be Denied!

I particularly salute young Nigerians who braved the challenges, withstood all kinds of difficulties and other contrived obstacles to cast their votes and make their voices heard. It was very loud and clear to Nigeria and the Global Community! Through your dynamism, creativity, optimism and passion for a Renewed Hope, we derive our inspiration. 

For instance, undaunted amidst all odds,  

My belief in the need and urgency of a Renewed Hope was strengthened. Please note that he didn’t stand so radically and bold because I am his uncle, an Ibo Man or a Christian! He stood because in us, he is convinced and believe that a Renewed Hope that will better his life is Indeed Possible! 

His desire which represents the appeal and prayer of majority of Nigerians must be achieved and sustained. He like many other Nigerians defied all odds and demonstrated to those that said we had no structure, that our unity of purpose, courage, love, commitment and resilience are the ingredients for the most powerful structure in our country. 

Our victories are not for anything or anyone but for Nigeria and Nigerians especially the youths who desire a better future of unlimited opportunities.

I am especially gratified by the fact that many youth were voted for the first time, and you have demonstrated without question your capacity to shape your country and its destiny. 

I salute your courage, resilience and resolve. 

All of us including many local and international observers are cool with your turn out.

  

Despite these setbacks we are undaunted and remain resolutely committed to the fight for a Renewed Hope as it is an idea whose time has come. I therefore implore you my dear brothers and sisters, that there's still another day and opportunity to birth a Renewed Hope.

 Learn to vote for a new set of dynamic and people-oriented leaders to birth a Renewed Hope. We have the patriotism, love, unity and power to defeat the forces of division and prejudice as they represent a brand of politics that has expired and cannot take us into the future. 

As we are counselled, we may differ in tribes and tongues, but we profess our unity in love and brotherhood to recreate a Nation where no Nigerian will be oppressed and where peace, fairness, justice, equity and prosperity will reign.

Don't vote based on religion, tribe, class and other sentiments of division. 

Vote for a New and United Nigeria, Vote for Renewed Hope, 

Vote for Brotherhood.

Vote for a new set of dynamic, committed and competent leaders.

 That is the spirit that led to the emergence of Rishi Sunak as UK Prime Minister; Sadiq Khan as Mayor of London and many others like Barack Obama, former US President. It is time to put in place a government that we will all participate in forming, that will be accountable and deeply committed to a Renewed Hope, a Nigeria that is inclusive and sustainably growing for the benefit of all. 

That is the kind of Government we want across all States of Nigeria.

Over these years, you will agree that every time the possibility of progress and a Renewed Hope has arisen, the forces of retrogression have attacked it with weapons of division, violence and prejudice. 

The same thing is happening now. 

We must all in unity, say no and totally condemn those that are invoking tribal prejudice, hatred and violence.

Killing and attacking people, burning markets and properties, suppressing people from a section of the country must stop and should not define our politics. We continue to pray for our brothers and sisters that lost their life in this struggle and for those that were attacked and injured, May God heal and strengthen you all. Our security agencies must ensure that the perpetrators face the law and that all Nigerians are fully protected irrespective of their political affiliations.

We are fighting for you so that we will hand our children and youths a country and banner without stain, where justice, peace, love and prosperity will reign. 

Join us as we are one family- A Family of a Renewed Hope That is Possible! All of us that believe in equity, justice and fairness and in a better country must no longer be a silent majority. 

A Renewed Hope is not only possible; it is already being born and Nigeria will prevail and rise! 

Nigeria God bless President of Federal Republic of Nigeria!

God bless the Good People of Federal Republic of Nigeria!!

God bless Africa!!!
