NTP Presidential Candidate’s Manifesto - In John Dara's Own Words: “Light Up Our lives” (His Dream)

[sparrow]

 

I strongly believe we have the strength and strategy of transformation. We can do better.  We can achieve much more than our wildest dreams. Let us (trust in God and) grow our strength today, your voice and vote are your vehicles to victory.

Spread the word if you believe in Nigeria, your motherland will soon be transformed, your voice is your strength! Lets make it happen!

In the Manifesto of the National Transformation Party, we spoke about 'dignity of man' as the reason why everyone must be supported to develop their full potential. Every civilized society must provide for special education and laws to protect people with special needs.

LIGHT UP OUR LIVES

In our past, we are known for our educational excellence until the dark era that crushed our standards and beliefs. Our children have been thrown into the world of laziness and confusion. The custodians of our education are left in abject poverty and their lost of trust in the system has negatively affected our dreams and cracked the pillars supporting our education. Our certificates are no longer respected, our children run beyond our shores in search of greener education.  Yet the change required to lift up our education is at large, the future of our education is still languishing in darkness, as our hope for a brighter education rot away.

There must be a change to relocate us to our original position of respect. We must move away from our present agony and reach for the light that'll recharge our education for the good of our children in whose hands our future rest.  If our children, their socio-economic backgrounds not withstanding are given the opportunity to have sound education without limitations, then we can hit our chest and say the future of our dear nation is safe.

Even though we are strong and blessed with good health we need our health system to be in place for us to have the confidence to move ahead. If the place of health is the place of carelessness and failure, with strike actions, unnecessary risks, retarding quality, then our tomorrow is threatened. Who'll do the work if we are not strong? Who'll polish our dreams and drive them to reality if we are sick. Everyone deserves a good health for a bright nation.

If positive energy is invested in our oil sector with the renovation of old hospitals, building of new ones, taking health care to the grassroots at affordable rates and creating a better working environment for our medical practitioners, we will be safe, our children will live a healthier life and our country will be happy.

Nigerians at all levels of the society deserve only the best to be productive and dedicated to a new Nigeria, charged with the positive belief to reach for new heights and take our rightful place in the league of great nations. All the tiers of governments – local, state and federal must work as one to put Nigeria on the fast lane and get closer to the advanced world. To achieve this we need to use all our resources to design and build modern and expandable infrastructures in the areas of roads network, transportation, telecommunications, water supply, power generation and distribution. With all these, our country will be a better place to live in. Our people will not abscond to other countries. The commercial sector will run smoothly and there will be higher productivity, reduction in cost of manufacturing and encouragement of foreign and local companies to continue to do business without tears.

Our size is our strength, our diversity is the bedrock of our unity that gives us the reason to operate as one, bring our different histories, traditions and cultures together to become one  stronger and dynamic country. Variety is the spice of life. If we have an open society, where there's unity driven by mutual understanding and tolerance, where human dignity and rights and protected, where effective communications reduce bottle-necks and differences are wisely managed and settled, we will rule the world.

If the Nigerian children, mothers, fathers in all walks of life are given the necessary support, if our numerous resources are properly harnessed, if we have a common goal of building this nation, if we have the positive belief in the greatness of our country, if we all stand up wherever we are and join hands together, we shall become a real force to reckon with. Our population and natural possessions are the passports to a faster developing country. The power is in our hands, our future is bright because we are blessed but we must arise and lift up Nigeria!

If we do all these with open mind and belief in a brighter tomorrow, we shall become a truly self-reliant nation in record time.

ME, YOU AND NIGERIA

The memories of a once great Nigeria still linger in my heart, the memories of a crashing Nigeria is fresh in my head, the agony of a falling Nigeria stands before me, the hope of a better Nigeria burns in me like wild fire. In my Vision, I am inspired to become the most outstanding transformational leader mobilizing all citizens to participate in democracy and development, while efficiently implementing developmental programmes originating from the people for the well-being of the people and the advancement of Nigeria and the rest of Africa.

My Mission is to become the most outstanding President Nigeria will ever have with exceptional demonstration of true leadership qualities, excellence and integrity in administration, leadership and public relations that'll make the Nigerian dream of becoming a self-reliant first world country come true to the joy of Nigerians, today, tomorrow and forever.

We might have varying cultures but our goals are the same because our dream is a better Nigeria driven by Unity, Peace and Justice. Your goals are my goals. Our goals are the yearnings of our country, Nigeria championed by NTP.

DEMOCRACY

To promote true democracy in Nigeria by opening up the nation for free and fair election, freedom of association, freedom of speech, right to shelter, food and clothing and a society where the voice of the people is the voice of the country. A country led by the dreams and aspirations of the people. A free society.

GOOD GOVERNANCE

To raise the standard of Governance driven by sincerity of purpose.  Promote a system where public officers will be accountable and truly serve the people and deliver the good of their offices. A society with proper monitoring of the performances of public office holder s. This will allow for detailed evaluation of their actions so as to hail good performers and sanction those who bring the country into disrepute through mediocrity, corruption thereby promoting orderliness and the rule of law. This will promote the supremacy of the law and justice for all.

MOBILIZATION

To effectively unite and promote mass mobilization of Nigerians and our massive natural resources for the good of all.

EMPOWERMENT

To empower Nigerians, especially the women and youth through training, mentoring and positioning for a better participation in politics and national development. This will expand the opportunities provided by Nigeria for Nigerians.  In a true democracy, power belongs to the people and so shall it be.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURES

To maintain and provide social amenities that will help Nigerians and visitors, both corporate and individuals in Nigeria reach their goals. Good roads, good hospitals, reliable power supply, water, schools, transportation and all the good things of life that'll guarantee a happy today and a brighter future.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

To promote scientific innovations and technological breakthroughs that'll help diversify our economy and serve as the stepping stone to the IT age, where we currently play a minor role.  This will be directed to maximize our potentials in all spheres of our society from Agriculture, Fishing, oil and gas, Tourism, Commerce and over all growth and development.

This can only be possible if we come together as one, drop our differences, re-ignite our unity, rediscover our strength in diversity, promote the spirit of selflessness and rekindle our dream, which has hitherto being suppressed by the people we entrusted our country into their hands.

I humbly present to you a dream, a dream of a better Nigeria driven by a force that'll transform our today and light up our future, a dream raging with the determination to make our life better, a dream that'll lead us to a new Nigeria, where everything works. I humbly offer myself as a candidate for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I'll serve with a strong passion for excellence, unity, progress and justice. With your support, together we shall lift up Nigeria
