One of the sons of Ohinoyi of Ebiraland and businessman, Prince Malik Ado-Ibrahim, has joined the Young Progressives Party (YPP).

He also declared his interest to run for presidency come 2023 general elections.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, Ado-Ibrahim said his intention to run for the presidency in 2023 was sequel to the fact that there is leadership vacuum in the country.

He said Nigeria needed a leader who would unite the country and carry everybody along irrespective religion and tribe.

According to him, “This is not an ordinary time in Nigeria. We have seen mediocrity reign, we have seen people losing interest in Nigeria.

“We have greatness within us but we are just letting things happen, things don’t just happen. If you do not sow, you will not reap, don’t expect that if you leave things void, excellence will shine, mediocrity will rule.

“I have a love for Nigeria, I lived outside this country for 47 years, studied, worked hard and I return home, not because I didn’t have any other thing to do, but I have things to do here, then I learned, I listened and I got involved.”

On why he joined the YPP, Prince Ado-Ibrahim said: “I am joining YPP because if I try this in any other party in this country, I will be shoved to the bottom of the party.

“We are stuck giving the mantle of leadership to people who do not completely understand what the bulk of this population means, we don’t want a president by name, we demand leadership.”

He further stated that Nigeria needed a visionary leader, stressing that the current leadership of the country has failed woefully.

“I like to see the future, I like to dream big and I want to take people along that journey with me.

“I am telling every young person in Nigeria, you cannot give up, these are ordinary times that require extraordinary measures, get involved, there is a party waiting for you called YPP.

“The establishment has failed us woefully, nobody should be left behind, it is important that we have to find an ‘Uniter-in-Chief’, somebody who loves this country, who is not going to ask you where are you from but will ask you what are the contents of your heart, what do you to the table.

“I am bringing a visionary form of leadership that I show in my companies including my friends and my loved ones, I don’t want to dream small, I must dream big and I want to carry people along to the future.

“Nigeria needs visionaries, we need people with pedigree, we need people whose names count. We want to build things here for the world to come and see, we want to do things that people will be proud of,” he added.

Speaking earlier, the national chairman of YPP, Emmanuel Bishop Amakiri, said Prince Malik Ado-Ibrahim resonates with the YPP ideology.

He said, “We have provided the vehicle for Nigerians now, which is the YPP and the doors are open for like-minds, men and women of distinct character and moral nobility that can come and help to reset Nigeria.

“Nigeria needs a reset of leadership because all the things we are going through today in our country is as a result of leadership failure and I can tell you that once leadership is fixed every other thing is possible.”

Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has been awarded and decorated as the “Hero of Women Inclusion” by a cross-section of Women from across the nation who also concluded to give their support to individuals with their interest at heart in 2023, other elections.

The women who gathered in Abuja at the grand finale of an awareness campaign on women inclusiveness in politics in Nigeria tagged ‘Nigerian Women Arise for Nigeria’ (NIWAFON) submitted that their support for the Kogi state governor was because he has surpassed the United Nations’ 35 percent affirmative action and had appointed women into strategic positions in his government.

The award was presented on behalf of Nigerian women by the National President, Nigerian Association of Women Entrepreneurs, Barr. Vera Ndanusa while the decoration was done be Iyaloja General, South-West, Princess Nike Aroloye Akingboye.

Barr. Ndanusa added that women were behind the governor for his unflinching belief in their ability to resolve knotty issues and right the wrongs in Nigeria noting that the success story recorded in Kogi state has strengthened the analogy that “behind a successful man is a woman”

In her separate remark, 1st Vice-President of NIWAFON, Mrs. Ifeyinwa Omowole, said women of substance in Nigeria would take legal action against the governor if he refused to declare his intention to run for Presidency in 2023.

According to her, “Kogi is working because women are manning strategic positions in the state”

The President of, National Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), Ms. Ladi Bawa, urged Nigerian women to arise and speak with one voice.

She said “I am happy that we are recognizing one man that has done a lot for women. We as women, must rise and be actively involved in politics, aspire to be governors”

She stated that other leaders must realize that if they must be supported by women, they should be fair in terms of gender equity adding that the Governor of Kogi State was doing his best in such regards hence they would support him.

Ace actress, Ms. Binta Ayo Mogaji, also led other screen divas to demand the rights of women in Nigeria as she lauded the Kogi governor for his feat in women inclusion and good governance.

The women cut across those in the Banking sectors, Health administrators, Nollywood industry, Market Women, Entrepreneurs, FOMWAN, NAWOJ, and many others

A few weeks ago I started seeing some self-acclaimed leaders sharing cars, sewing machines, and Refrigerators while others are into sharing notebooks just to gain the people’s favor ahead of the 2023 Elections.

I was wondering if those leaders even think straight, we are not as draft as they are, some years back those leaders still have this money but you can’t see them helping anyone, not to talk of sharing of notes book, cars, and others.

One of those leaders insulted a student just because he asked for help ” Hello Leader am in School and I need your assistance”
His Response was like ” Did I send you to school?”

But today that same leader is out there paying people’s tuition fees and we all know the game.

Let’s take Hon. Ade Tola as an example he was a former council leader some years ago and you can’t compare his antecedent to any of those self-acclaimed leaders.

He used the little resources at his disposal to touch lives and bless the needy if you can recall back then as a council leader he shared Handsets For Our Youths, over 400 Cloths for our women, yearly Sallah, Christmas Package (Sharing Of Bags of rice, Groundnut Oil, Semo, and A Pocket Token)

Now let’s talk about his boss back then Hon Samson Bako, you don’t need anyone to tell you about Bako as the Best House of Assembly Member Ajaokuta LGA has ever produced.

Tola Ade was just like a Special Adviser, Brother to Samson Bako and it was through his advice Samson Bako was able to lay a legacy in Ajaokuta LGA, All Samson Bako’s Projects are still visible up to date and no House of Assembly Member can beat that reach.

Tola Ade is a rare gem who any political party will love to have by their side, 2023 is fast approaching and we are looking forward to seeing him come out and contest for a visible position.

We will most wholeheartedly welcome his ambition just as we will happily welcome and work for the realization of the ambition of an Ebira or Igala man/woman coming out to demand an opportunity to represent our people come 2023.
Thank God Its Now One Man, One Vote

What must speak to anyone’s ambition this time is a noble pedigree with verifiable qualification, experience, ability, and the wherewithal to offer unto us a robustly mature, progressive, and above all must offer himself indeed and in every ramification to be our representative at the local government, state and federal government level.

2023 We All Are Gonna See Who Owns Ajaokuta Politics ✋
