“We must acknowledge that personal ambition, greed, and internal divisions have made us vulnerable. No amount of external sabotage can succeed if there is no internal decay. That is why I say the most potent antidote is not merely vigilance, but patriotism – genuine, uncompromising patriotism.

“When our leaders put Nigeria first – above ambition, above ego, above the lure of quick power – no ruling party can break us. It is time to stop acting like victims and start behaving like visionaries. Our role is not to whine about the state of the nation but to fight for its redemption.

“It does this country no good to operate a system where one party dominates unchecked. Even the APC, if it is wise, should understand that democracy dies not with a bang but with the silence of dissent. Once the people are left with no real alternative, the legitimacy of the entire system is at risk.

“As Nelson Mandela wisely said, “A strong democracy needs a strong opposition – because only through scrutiny, criticism, and open debate can a government serve its people well.”

“That is our task. That is our mission. We must rebuild the opposition – not as scattered entities chasing relevance – but as a united force driven by shared values, sound policy ideas* , and the unshakable will to offer Nigerians the leadership they deserve.

“We must call out the failures of the APC administration, its economic mismanagement, insecurity, shrinking civic space, and worsening inequality.* But more importantly, we must come armed with real solutions and speak not just to the frustrations of Nigerians but to their hopes.

“In the words of former U.S. President Barack Obama, “The role of an opposition party is not simply to oppose, but to hold the government accountable, to challenge ideas, and to propose better ones. That is what we owe the Nigerian people.

Not just criticism, but conviction. Not just slogans, but substance. Not just ambition, but action.”
