Motivational speaker and leadership coach, Fela Durotoye, has formally declared his intention to join active politics.
Durotoye in a post on Instagram on Thursday, February 22, said he had formalised his membership with Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) to achieve his political goals.
He said he joined the ANN after researching into several political parties to determine if their ideologies, vision and values resonate with his.
Although Durotoye refused to confirm or deny rumours of him running for office in 2019.
He wrote:
13 years ago, my heart was infused with a vision of a NEW
NIGERIA and I received a mandate to raise a generation of nation
builders that will build Nigeria into the most desirable nation to live
in; work in.
This great generation of nation builders of every tribe and tongue …
of every religious creed … men and women, boys and girls from every
hamlet, village, town and city across the length and breadth of our
nation across the entire spectrum of our society … all infused with a
similar set of values; committed to a lifestyle of leadership and
excellence as they seek to build Nigeria into the most desirable nation
to live in.
All the work we’ve done over the past decade has been in recognition
of the great potential of our country and the undeniable blessing that
have been divinely bestowed upon us in the abundance of natural ;
mineral resources, but most importantly in the abundance of human
resources as we have been blessed to be the largest collection
indomitable, indefatigable, innovative; inventive people … indeed the
world’s largest black nation.
All of these blessings affirm our potential to be one of the greatest
countries in the world, but that potential is also a challenge to our
generation to work hard to actualize our potential; to be all that we
can be, do all that we can do; possess all that we can have as a truly
great nation.
However, I have come to the conclusion that Good Governance is
critical for any nation to accomplish its full potential. Infact,
without good governance every other good work carried out by its
citizens would ultimately be like pouring water into a basket and is
therefore not sustainable.
I stand here on behalf of this generation of leaders to declare that
WE ARE NOW WILLING, ABLE; READY TO SERVE OUR NATION THROUGH ELECTIVE
OFFICE; WE ARE NOT TOO YOUNG TO RUN, …WE ARE YOUNG, BUT WE ARE STRONG; WE ARE READY TO DELIVER THE QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP; GOVERNANCE REQUIRED TO BUILD A NEW NIGERIA.
To build the Nigeria of our dreams would require exceptional
candidates who would emerge from a pool of excellent; credible aspirants
chosen by the people to represent them at the general elections. And
so, over the last few months, I have researched into several political
parties to determine if their ideologies, vision and values resonate
with mine.
I am glad to announce that one party has resonated more with me than
any other in sharing common ideology, principles and a truly democratic
internal political process that is open to all to aspire…
A party that provides a level playing field for the best candidates to
emerge at all levels for Legislative & Executive offices. THAT
PARTY IS THE ALLIANCE FOR NEW NIGERIA.
And today 22nd of February 2018, I have formalized my membership with
the ALLIANCE FOR NEW NIGERIA (ANN) & become a member of this great
party.IT IS OUR TIME… And together, we will deliver the future.
God Bless You all.
God Bless our Alliance For New Nigeria.
And May God Bless our Federal Republic of Nigeria.
