Fellow Compatriots,
Today, as I have consistently done in recent weeks and months, I had the pleasure, in the company of His Excellency Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, CON, to receive Senator Mohammed Hassan from Yobe State, alongside other political leaders and stakeholders from the state who have joined our great party. I also received High Chief Peter Ojemen (Don P) MFR, the Okodalo of Esanland from Edo State, and several other patriots who came to identify with the vision of the NDC and who are passionate about the survival of multi-party democracy, inclusive governance, and a culture of robust but civilized political engagement—values I have always lived by.
In all my interactions, I took time to clearly explain the vision and ideals of the NDC as an ideological political party driven by the mission to entrench politics of service. I have equally emphasised to other opposition leaders that the NDC was not established to supplant or weaken any opposition party, nor to divide the opposition. Rather, from inception, our goal has been to provide an alternative platform—an umbrella now for all opposition parties and well-meaning Nigerians, especially in the face of a strangulating and suffocating political environment.
Our doors remain open to all members of opposition parties and even aggrieved members of the ruling party—because we are all Nigerians, with the constitutional freedom to join political parties of our choice without coercion, inducement, or intimidation by anyone.
I assure all who join us that they will be well-received with fairness, respect, and given the freedom to pursue their political aspirations within the framework of our constitution.
In this regard, I call on all members and supporters of the NDC to refrain from casting aspersions on leading opposition figures. We must see ourselves, whether in the ADC, APM, or other genuine opposition parties, as belonging to one political family. I also call on supporters and advocates of the ADC to avoid rhetoric that seeks to tarnish the image or reputation of leading members of the NDC, or any other opposition party.
The challenges before us are profound. We operate within a difficult political climate marked by intimidation, persecution, and victimization from key institutions of government. Yet, from our various political domains, we must rise to the occasion and overcome these immense odds—to put our parties in order and work collectively towards building a National Salvation Programme that will rescue the nation from the failed policies of the APC-led government, which has, since 2015, taken Nigeria backwards.
This is not the time for division or needless attacks. We cannot afford to undermine one another or engage in self-destructive politics. The moment demands unity, sacrifice, and a shared sense of purpose. We must work harder, carry greater responsibility, and remain steadfast in our collective resolve.
I call on all NDC zonal, state, and local government chairmen, and indeed all leaders of our great party, to warmly accommodate everyone who seeks to join and participate in the affairs of the party, as the NDC belongs to all Nigerians.
I thank Nigerians for their continued support and confidence in the NDC. Your trust remains our greatest strength and motivation.
May God continue to guide and bless our steps.
