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.
