Protocols
The Chairman of the Electoral Committee,
Leaders of NANC, past and present, Zonal and Chapter Chairman, delegates, Security apparatus present,
Distinguished observers and members of the press,
Fellow comrades, ladies and gentlemen.
Combatant Greetings, comrades.
Standing before you today, I am humbled.
I stand not as a conqueror, but as a servant chosen by you to lead this great association at a time when it needs direction, unity, and purpose.
First, I thank Almighty God for life, for strength, and for this opportunity.
To the National Electoral Committee, thank you for conducting a free, fair, and credible election.
To my fellow contestants, I say this: the election is over. The real contest begins now – the contest to rebuild NANC. I ask for your ideas, your experience, and your support.
And to every delegate who cast a vote, whether for me or not – I heard you. This mandate belongs to all of us.
Fellow comrades,
We have spent too much time fighting ourselves. While we quarrel over positions, the Nigerian comrades battles high fees, insecurity, unemployment, and a system that often forgets us.
That ends now.
My leadership will be guided by one principle: Service above self.
We will restore NANC’s ideological foundation through political education in every chapter.
We will run an open, transparent administration where every kobo is accounted for.
We will fight for the welfare of members – from indigent youths to those seeking skills and jobs.
We will engage government and institutions not with noise, but with facts, data, and results.
And we will use technology to connect every chapter, from Sokoto to Port Harcourt, so no comrade is left behind.
I know the work ahead is hard. But I also know this: when comrades unite, no force can stop us.
To the NEC team you have elected alongside me – we are not a cabinet of friends, we are a team of duty. Let us work with discipline, integrity, and urgency.
To every chapter PRO, Mobilizer, and member – your voice matters. My door will be open. My phone will be on. I will lead by listening first.
Comrades,
This victory is not mine alone. It belongs to every student who believes that activism should mean results, not chaos.
It belongs to every young Nigerian who still believes that collective action can change our country.
I promise you this: I will not betray your trust. I will not use this office for personal gain. I will defend the name of NANC, and I will defend the rights of Nigerian youths and students comrades with courage and wisdom.
To aggrieved party, Let us put aside division. Let us rebuild trust. Let us make NANC proud again.
Reform. Restore. Represent.
That is our mandate. That is our mission.
Thank you, and may God bless the National Association of Nigerian Comrades.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Aluta Continua, Victoria Ascerta!
