So it is not by chance that we also come together on this journey toward success for the Nigerian people. Decisions announced today are decisions that have been made. by the organs of the party. So the role assigned to me The purpose of the party today is to come and thank you all. and to thank you for coming, and more Nigerians who are in their various communities, working right now as we speak. Just before I came in here, I received the 258th or the 251st message from people who are on various fronts. And I must thank our gubernatorial candidates. It's not easy, because there are people to beat in their respective states. and to spend these long hours away from the field to come and honor the party. I must thank you most sincerely, Because the battle for Nigeria is not in the party secretariat. The battle for Nigeria is in the communities of the polling units. So I am grateful to all-powerful God that we have seen today. The only thing I will say to Nigerian media Is it that you have something in common with the SDP? That is the survival of Nigeria. The ruling party is going to Adamawa. and make false promises in the next few days. But that is their own affair. What concerns me is that in Adamawa State, the state government says that every flyer, every poster, every billboard that does not belong The APC must be removed because the Mr. President does not wish to see them. This is not something that the media should take lightly because When you see signs like this, they are signs of dictatorship. Therefore, it is extremely important that everyone be allowed to sell their ideas. This is the only remark I want to make. But today I thank everyone who is here. I agree with all the speeches made prior to my coming here. And I agree with the leadership selection for the campaign. I agree with the programs of the One United Social Democratic Party. I have always completed my assignments since I joined the party. The assignment given to me today is to go around. and bid farewell to poverty and insecurity for all Nigerians. The first assignment given to me when I joined the party in 1991 As a 19-year-old, I was tasked with pasting posters all over Lagos State. And I did a very good job at that. So, any other assignment given to me, I will do it. But one thing I will say in conclusion is that we have shown That we can build a country because we have built a party. And when we were building this party, Many who are now running on the party do not believe or do Never imagined that the party would be the one to carry them. Many of you who may have come here as journalists, as reporters, As policemen, as workers, what we are building is for your benefit. Look at all those contesting in our party. Many of them have nothing to gain but power over the government. What we are doing is trying to save one political party. That speaks the truth, makes sense, and cares for the people. one who knows the country, one who unites the country. Then, if you put that party in government, We will build a country you can be proud of. And I am most grateful to our women, Led by the Minister of Women's Affairs, I have just added to it. In SDP, we split it 50-50. Everything we do in SDP is 50-50, no cheating. That's five men, five women. Ten men, ten women. So it is up to the women to lead, and you can see that after the leadership of the campaign council, one woman as deputy
