_*CURRENT ISSUES IN THE POLITY*_
Dear Compatriots,
I thank you all for keeping faith with our Principals, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima in becoming the next President and Vice President respectively of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
To be honest, there have been a lot of developments in the political landscape in the past few weeks that necessitated this message. Those developments are ordinarily to be expected. This is a political contest. It is expected that all the parties and the various tendencies within the parties will use every arsenal within their sphere of influence to ensure they are victorious.
As individuals and supporters of the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), we should not be disappointed. On the contrary, the current happenings is a pointer that we are on the right path. As such, we should be resolute more than ever before in joining our compatriots in all the different parts of Nigeria to ensure that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima are victorious in the Presidential election slated for 25th of this month.
However, this is not a time to insult ourselves as individuals or as groups. One thing is certain: we don't have all the necessary information to make an informed opinion about the variables dictating the current situation because some of those details may *_never_* be made public anyway.
However, there is something that is sacrosanct in the upcoming election. And that is the fact that the election is still "one man one vote"😁
The detractors are only looking for one thing: to put the support base of our Principals in disarray. They are aware that we shall carry the day if we go into the polls as we are currently.
It is now our own responsibility to prove to them that we are wiser. And the only way we can do this is not to be perturbed by whatever events that are happening. Those events are artificial and politically motivated. Specifically, there is no basis for the current fuel scarcity and the Naira scarcity.
Let us go into the election as a united front that is determined to bring about positive change in the narratives of our dear fatherland.
Let me reiterate once again that we are supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima for the top jobs in the land because we believe in their capacity to govern Nigeria for the betterment of Nigeria and the overall benefit of the greater majority of Nigerians.
As individuals, we have resolved to put the twin issues of ethnicity and religion behind us. This is because we know that these are the two major issues that the enemies of Nigeria have used to divide the people of Nigeria from independence to date and as such ensure that Nigeria remain underdeveloped.
We are all queuing behind our Principals today because we know that they believe so much in a United Nigeria.
Once again, ladies and gentlemen, let the struggle continue until we achieve victory at the polls.
Yours truly in the service of our fatherland,
Clement Adefulire (FCA)
