It is my utmost pleasure once more to welcome us to another edition of this ongoing crusade. I am so glad we were able to make it to the platform as we had always done.
You would not know how happy I feel each time we are gathered here. I feel deeply happy because it is an arena where we have collectively succeeded in proclaiming the truth in regard to the forthcoming general elections in Nigeria.
It is the only platform that has taken time to fully educate us on those facts we needed to take note of. And at the moment, we can beat our chests and say, we have done well so far.
This crusade wants to ensure we join only the moving train as regards the impending national ritual. It is taking time to explain to us why we must not miss the train, because it’s only the moving train that could take us to our desired destination.
Today, in a similar bid, we are concerned about ushering in and maintaining absolute peace as the journey progresses. We can’t possibly shy away from such aforementioned factor if truly we intend to witness a successful and safe outing.
As the topic reads “… let’s come together as a family”, my sincere intention is to let us understand that we can never achieve anything if we remain a divided family as a people. Imo is like one indivisible home created to accomplish a common goal. In view of this assertion, we must continue to live and act as one people in our day-to-day activity, especially at this point we are heading to another electioneering era.
Nigeria is for all of us, hence no one is excluded from the scope of the country whenever issues concerning its wellbeing are discussed. In other words, we must not take this fact for granted if we are truly looking forward to achieving any of our motives.
Nigeria is a liberal country that carries everyone along including outsiders resident in the country. Due to its uniqueness, it has always been noted for its welcoming and hospitality features. It is no doubt a country that thinks about not only herself but also the good of others around her. This is why we must pursue peace with vigour.
The unique features found in Nigeria are exactly what we should look out for in any individual aspiring to occupy any highly-placed position come 2023 such as the Presidency. We must therefore look out for someone with a large heart; someone who does not think only for his own good but for that of others both far and near; a person who experiences sleeplessness as a result of thinking about his people across the length and breadth of the country.
This platform is telling us the need to come together as a family; the need to rally round only a candidate who possesses a selfless interest; the need for us to stand solidly behind an individual who is truly determined to carry everyone along in the scheme of things; above all, the need not to plan for the downfall of anyone who has the interest of all of us at the back of his mind.
My people, we need to really come together and reason collectively with one mindset. We must not let the littered bedbugs to suck our bloods as we prepare ourselves for the fast-approaching race. We should not listen to people who are only interested in devouring our common patrimony.
We must not give such a set of persons any atom of space to come around us let alone carrying out any activity with us. They are blood suckers, thus should be avoided by all means. Read my lips.
The voice speaking to us today is like a voice in the wilderness crying for our salvation; a voice that does not want us to perish in ignorance. It is the voice that wants us to be saved from those vultures that have come to destroy our homes. This voice, which is holy and divine, is calling every one of us, so we must not fail to listen to it.
Hence, we must adopt only the person among the aspirants that understands the essence of working as a family. We must aptly trace the person’s antecedents; we need to concentrate on someone whose background does not overlook the goodness of teamwork. We must endeavor to verify our findings by using all avenues.
Nigerians, this is the only time we have to listen to the voice of wisdom. We need to search for a Presidential aspirant who has all it takes to pilot the affairs of Nigeria if the opportunity is given to him/her come 2023.
Someone who has truly vowed never to let us down as a people; someone who has pledged to obtain exactly whatever he was asked to purchase if he eventually finds himself at the market; most importantly, an individual who is damn ready to give a listening ear to every Nigerian or group if he emerged as the President of the country.
My only plea today is for us to come together as one indivisible family, especially the youth in the midst. Together, we stand but divided we fall. No sane member of a certain family would wish its downfall. The point is that, we must not despise the fact that we belong to only one home, therefore are expected to think and act as people that possess the same blood, irrespective of the provocations.
Nigeria is for us all; in other words, we must not allow it to fall. A word, they say, is enough for the wise. As I urge us to thoroughly go through this sincere message, I plead to take my leave till our next meeting or interaction.
