BY EDMOND ODOK — A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Otunba Segun Showunmi, says the active participation of Nigeria’s vibrant youths and resilient women in nation-building will positively shape the country’s future in the coming years.
He said with the dawn of 2025 bringing renewed hope and aspirations to homes across Nigeria, it is important to celebrate the strength and potential of women and youth in national development.
In his New Year message released to the media in Abuja, Showunmi, who was the PDP flag-bearer in the 2023 Ogun State gubernatorial election, stressed their role as critical stakeholders, saying, “You are the heartbeat of our nation, and together, we will chart a course for a brighter future.”
Otunba Showunmi also used the occasion to beam light on the new group, National Opposition Movement Coalition (NOMC), also called “The Alternative”, a groundbreaking initiative poised to serve as a powerful voice for Nigerians, stressing that the Movement is rooted in the “principles of equity, good governance, and national development”.
According to him, the NOM also aims to unite Nigerians in pursuit of a progressive and inclusive future, adding; “This movement is for all Nigerians who dream of a better tomorrow.
“It is a platform to amplify your voices, address your concerns, and ensure that your aspirations for a just and prosperous Nigeria are realized. Expect great things from us as we work tirelessly to serve the best interests of our nation.”
He further disclosed the NOM has already garnered widespread support from citizens, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and advocacy groups, including The Nation Builders and Reformers Organization, which have endorsed its vision of reform and progress.
“The overwhelming backing we’ve received reinforces our commitment to this cause. With the collective efforts of Nigerians and dedicated partners like The Nation Builders and Reformers Organization, we are ready to drive meaningful change”, the PDP Stalwart assured.
Explaining that his message to youths and women underscores NOM’s focus on empowering marginalized groups, promoting transparency, and fostering economic opportunities, Otumba Showunmi said; “We understand your challenges, and we are here to ensure that your voices are heard and your needs are met. Together, we will build a Nigeria that works for everyone.”
He said with Nigeria stepping into 2025, there is a need for unity, resilience, and active participation of all stakeholders in reshaping the nation’s destiny, adding; “This New Year, let us reflect on our shared dreams and commit to making them a reality. The journey ahead is promising, and with your support, we will achieve greatness.”
Showunmi, while extending the NOM’s good wishes to Nigerians for “a Happy New Year filled with hope, progress, and transformative change”, specifically said; “To the youths and women of Nigeria, I wish you a Happy New Year filled with hope, love, and renewed determination.”
