“We believe that leadership should be assessed not only by the challenges encountered, but also by the courage to confront those challenges, the reforms introduced, and the foundation being established for a stronger future.”
As a collaborative support group, “we have resolved to stand with the APC and the Tinubu/Shettima administration because we believe that continuity of purposeful governance can provide the opportunity to consolidate ongoing reforms and strengthen the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“We recognise that the task of rebuilding a nation is not achieved overnight, it requires patience, consistency, sacrifice, accountability, innovation and the collective contribution of citizens.”
In fact “Our position is therefore guided by the principle that where a journey of national transformation has begun, the people should carefully consider the value of continuity, stability and consolidation.
“We believe that a stronger Nigeria can emerge from sustained investment in infrastructure, education, healthcare, commerce and industry, security, transportation, agriculture, technology and human capital development.”
The future of Nigeria depends significantly on the opportunities we create for our young people and women.
“We support policies and initiatives that promote employment, entrepreneurship, vocational and occupational skills, technical education, innovation, small and medium-scale enterprises, and access to productive opportunities.
“Obviously Our young people should not merely be regarded as the leaders of tomorrow; they must be empowered to become productive contributors to the Nigeria of today.
“Therefore we equally recognise the vital role of Nigerian women in economic development. Greater access to skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, finance, markets and other legitimate economic opportunities can strengthen families, communities and the national economy.”
Education remains the potential bridge fo= achievement. “We believe that strengthening our educational system, technical institutions and skills-development programmes is essential to preparing Nigerians for the demands of a modern economy.
“Healthcare is equally fundamental because healthy population is a productive population, and we support continued efforts to improve healthcare delivery, accessibility and quality across the country.
“Our political differences must never become reasons for Nigerians to regard one another as enemies, and Nigeria belongs to all of us, and our diversity should be a source of strength rather than division.
“We therefore call on our members, supporters and all Nigerians to conduct political activities with maturity, respect and patriotism.
“Our messages to Nigerians is we really understand that Nigeria is still facing significant challenges. We do not pretend that every problem has been solved. However, we believe that challenges should inspire constructive participation rather than hopelessness.
Today, it continued, “we reaffirm our confidence in the democratic process and formally declare our support for the APC and the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima for a second term.”
