Nigeria needs courageous leaders for better, sustainable future: Arewa Group
Arewa for Renewed Hope Agenda, a non-partisan advocacy group, says Nigeria deserves leaders whose decisions may be tough today but will lead to a better tomorrow.
Speaking at a news conference in Abuja, the group’s chairman, Abu Misodi, highlighted the importance of leaders who are willing to promote long-term progress.
Mr Misodi urges opposition parties to refrain from narrating hopelessness, alleging that nothing is working under President Bola Tinubu. According to him, truth matters, and the progress being recorded by the Tinubu administration must be defended.
“Nigeria deserves leaders who are not afraid to make hard decisions — decisions that may be tough today but will lead to a better tomorrow. As Nigerians who believe in the promise of our great nation, we recognise the need for leadership that is bold, forward-thinking, and committed to truth and transformation.
“We need the courage to modernise systems and the faith to act with integrity and vision. Nigeria’s path to progress lies in unity, transparency, and a collective commitment to building a better future,” stated Mr Misodi.
Mr Misodi encouraged citizens to reject pessimism and embrace hope, saying the country’s challenges could be overcome through shared effort and positive engagement. He urged Nigerians to focus on building a prosperous and inclusive society that benefits all regions and communities equally.
“This is a movement for every man and woman who believes that reason must rise above dogma; that unity must conquer division, and that Nigeria must
come first — always,” he said.
Referencing Nigeria’s founding leaders, Mr Misodi called on current and future leaders to draw inspiration from their dedication to justice, dignity, and nation-building.
“Unity, peace, and progress are not just ideals; they are the foundations of our democratic journey. We must stand for the truth, uplift our communities, and walk together toward a brighter Nigeria.
“Our generation carries the responsibility of renewal, and with hope, we will rise to meet it,” he said.
