Will you contest for office, not because you crave a title, but because you believe you have something better to offer?
Will you help build the ADC into a political party that is rooted in the people, disciplined in organisation, democratic in character and genuinely open to a new generation?
I am asking you to say:
This is my country. This is my future. This is my responsibility. I will not outsource it.
And if you accept that responsibility, I make you a promise: you will not walk alone.
I will listen to you, answer your questions and accept your criticism because I am not asking to be your master. I am asking to be your candidate, your partner and, if Nigerians entrust me with the responsibility, your servant.
LET THE RIVER RISE
Let me leave you with one image.
The River Niger, from which our country takes its name, does not begin as the mighty river we know. It begins small, and as it travels, other streams join it. One becomes ten, ten become hundreds, and what began quietly becomes a mighty river capable of sustaining millions.
