When I was your age, I was actively involved in student politics. Like many young Nigerians of my generation, I believed that leadership was not about titles but about service, courage and the willingness to challenge injustice. We did not have social media to amplify our voices. We organised. We debated. We mobilised. We marched. And sometimes, we ran from the police. As the years passed, many of us joined countless other Nigerians—students, labour leaders, journalists, civil society organisations, pro-democracy activists and ordinary citizens in resisting military authoritarianism and demanding democratic governance. Many paid dearly for that struggle. Some lost their freedom. Some lost their livelihoods. Some paid the ultimate price with their lives. By the grace of God, some of us survived to witness the return of democratic rule in 1999. I was privileged to serve as Vice President at that defining moment in our nation's history. Together with millions of Nigerians, we helped lay the foundation for the democratic Nigeria we all cherish today.
