A Non-Governmental organization, We2GeDa Nigeria, North Central Chapter has been launched In Jos, the Plateau state capital.
The event attracted members of the group from various parts of the country as well as notable youth representatives from North Central Nigeria.
“We2GeDaNG” is a movement of millions of young patriotic Nigerians, who came together to ensure that every Nigerian life is valued.
The movement represents a group of Nigerians between the ages of eighteen and fifty years, home and abroad from diverse ethnic, religious, academic and professional backgrounds with the competence and experience required to drive the much-needed change of the Nigerian state.
In his opening address, Honourable David Adebo Jonathan said that the problem with Nigeria is much more structural than governance, as current Nigeria’s political structure can no longer engender economic growth and development, adding that the members of the group will offer the desired leadership that will change the narrative.
Speaking on the Journey so far, the convener and Chairman, of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of We2geda, Ibrahim Hussein Abdulkarim, explained that money politics have done a great disservice to the country and that the need to address this birthed We2geda Movement.
Furthermore, he reminded all that the country’s founding fathers were not thinking of creating a Nigeria for Nigerians but for Africans at large, stressing that We2geda Movement is not only about the present generation, but about generations yet unborn.
“This is an opportunity presented to us; hence, If you think this is about us you are missing it. It is not about us but our unborn generations.” The BoT chairman said.
The National Coordinator of “We2GeDaNG”, Mr. Shina Peller, who is a serving member of the House of Representatives, expressed confidence that We2geda is a tool through which Nigeria will be put back on the right trajectory, particularly as the 2023 general election beckons.
He noted that God created man to impact lives and that man installs government and made it clear that they have designed a workable mechanism to bring a solution to Nigeria.
He emphasized the need to build strong institutions rather than powerful individuals who will later consider themselves as semi-gods.
There was a panel discussion on how to proffer a solution to the problem of Nigeria at the event.
WE2GEDA is committed to unifying and mobilizing patriotic Nigerians from all walks of life. For the change we desire; we must come together, think together, move together, and act together — it requires people like you.
With fellow compatriots in Nigeria, Africa, and across the world, WE2GEDA aims to build this movement from the ground up, person to person, community by community—because democracy isn’t a thought rather it is an act. Get Involved!
