After I met with Former President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja on Thursday, I attended the 3rd Annual National Summit of one of Obidient support groups (CPO), as well as the public presentation of the book titled ‘The Flame of Hope: Igniting the Soul of a Nation’ written by Emeka Patrick Ude. The gathering was not only a celebration of ideas but also a reaffirmation of our collective journey toward building a Nigeria that works for all. In my remarks, I highlighted the urgent need for comprehensive electoral reforms, which remain the bedrock of any functional democracy to drive inclusive growth, create jobs, unlock the immense potential of our young population and improve the critical areas of development, health, education and pull our people out of poverty. I also encouraged Nigerians, especially the youth, to deepen their participation in the electoral process and to hold on firmly to their belief in a new Nigeria. The journey to a better nation is never easy, but with faith, resilience, focus, and unity of purpose, we can birth a country that reflects the values of justice, equity, greatness and shared prosperity. I commend the CPO group for their consistency, resilience, and commitment to this cause, and I sincerely appreciate Emeka Patrick Ude for his literary contribution through this book, which serves as both an inspiration and a call to action for all who desire to see our nation rise again. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
