As a Nigerian first of all, I believe in a unified and detribalised country. A country where we all share a common identity, feel for the same national football team and nurture the same desire for progressive change.
I believe in the equality of all men and women irrespective of age, tribe, or religion and therefore believe that no sector of the community should be deliberately and/or systematically marginalised.
I do not share the ideas of those who seek to play God by attempting to confer weighted advantages over certain sectors at the expense of other sectors. This is undemocratic and will only widen the gaps of disparity rather than close them.
It is my opinion that a more positive action will be to confer equal and evenly distributed advantages across all sectors without bias.
It is with this reasoning in mind that I have constructed a positive policy of INCLUSION rather than exclusion whereby instead of saying you here can have it but you there cannot have it, we say you ALL can have it.
This means making exactly the self-same opportunities available to our emerging young leaders and our women as those currently available to only the elitist male class.
I believe that as equal partakers in the nation's destiny we should all have an equal say in its affairs, each and everyone of us, including young people and women. Afterall the same rain falls on all alike, even the rich, the old, and the famous. This is my YEWA agenda.
