Prof Isa Odidi emerges as the
Presidential Candidate and Akeem Bello as his running mate. I
was a clarion call urging Prof Isa Odidi to run for the highest
office with Akeem Bello as his vice President under the New
Democrats (ND). Dr Baba J Adamu emerges as the gubernatorial
candidate for Kaduna State.
There
is no longer any secret about it, ND officials explained, the
world can no longer hide away from the fact that a new powerful
nation is in the horizon. This nation has a lot of potentials in
it than any other nations that ever existed on the surface of
our earth. It is endowed with human intellects, with abundant of
natural resources and with huge market potential due to its
population. Its people are not lazy, they are hard working and
happy. The only problem is that of quality, committed
Leadership.
The new NIGERIA
under New Democrats (ND) will have a beginning that is well
documented and a strong traditional value that will be well
preserved despite years of failed positive-value
promotion, economic policy, poverty and lack of security. What
should be of interest to anyone is that this new NIGERIA like
other nations will be able to identify her priorities, the
priorities of her citizens without compromising those priorities
with anything.
As Schopenhauer said: All truth goes through three stages: first
it is ridiculed: then it is violently opposed: finally it is
accepted as self evident. IT WILL BE SELF EVIDENT THAT COME
APRIL 2006, NIGERIANS WILL TRUST THE NEW DEMOCRATS (ND) and give
them the mandate to bring a better, revitalized NIGERIA out from
economic degradation to economic prosperity.
The position of Nigeria today is a major concern to all of
us, and indeed all Nigerians, asserts the New Democrats. "Will
we ever learn? Will we be able to define and elect those that
can bring forth the new powerful nation? …We urge and plea, and
ask all Nigerians to trust us and elect us into power in 2007
because you know":
We believe that government's proper role in the New Economy is
to equip working Nigerians with new tools for economic success
and security
Because, we
believe in expanding trade and investment because we must be a
party of economic progress, not economic reaction. We believe
that global markets demand global rules and institutions to
ensure fair competition and to provide checks and balances on
private power.
Because, we believe that fiscal discipline is fundamental to
sustained economic growth as well as responsible government. We
believe in our mission to expand opportunity. We believe that
education must be Nigeria's great equalizer, and we will not
abandon our schools or tolerate their failure.
We believe that all Nigerians must have access to healthcare
that balances governmental and individual responsibility. We
believe in preventing crime and punishing criminals and that
Nigeria's criminal justice system should be rooted in and
responsive to the communities it serves.
We believe in shifting the focus of Nigeria's anti-poverty and
social programs from transferring wealth to creating wealth. We
believe in replacing top-down bureaucracy with more flexible,
accountable public institutions that enable citizens and
communities to solve their own problems. We believe government
should harness the forces of choice and competition to achieve
public goals.
We believe in enhancing the role that civic entrepreneurs,
voluntary groups, and religious institutions play in tackling
Nigeria's social ills. We believe in strengthening environmental
protection by giving communities the flexibility to tackle new
challenges that cannot be solved with top-down mandates. We
believe government must combat discrimination on the basis of
ethnicity, creed, gender, or religious; defend civil liberties;
and stay out of our private lives. We believe that the common
civic ideals Nigerians share transcend group differences and
forge unity from diversity.
We believe in progressive nationalism -- the bold exercise of
Nigerian leadership to foster peace, prosperity, unity and
democracy. We believe that Nigeria must be strong
technologically to protect our interests and values only.
Finally, we believe that Nigerian citizenship entails
responsibilities as well as rights, and we mean to ask our
citizens to give something back to their communities and their
country.
