The time has come when we, as a people, must stop, think and take very hard decisions. Gone must be those days when we get hoodwinked into falling for the same old traps of deceit, and failed promises.

As the date fast approaches for the September 10th elections in Edo state, we are once again faced with the risk of falling victim to monumental squander of our resources on elaborate, paid, rented, and hired crowds, for carnivals that are all noise and devoid of any content. No serious business can be run on the platform of speaking loud and saying nothing. It’s against this background that The Young Democratic (YDP) has come with a completely different approach in presenting a candidate for Edo 2016 elections.

First, the news should not be that our party is new, being that nobody has come from outside Nigeria to run the party, but that our philosophy and ideology is relatively new. It’s the philosophy & strategy that replaces power with service as our party ideology and guiding principle. We have decided – in choosing a candidate- to root for capacity.

Industrialization and job creation:
First, Engr. Nurudeen, thus maintaining a constant touch with home has made a success of his career, and made the country proud by his exploits in the Former Soviet Union- Ukraine. The biggest challenge of our youths today is unemployment and a lack of true role models. Engr. Nurudeen is a grass rooter and a Disparate that will bring companies and industries to provide employment for Edo population. Engr. Nurudeen has a strong global network that will turn Edo state into a preferred investment destination.

Social justice:
A young man that could survive under the socialist republic is one that understands social justice. Greed, inconsideration for the less privileged and insatiable appetite for wealth has turned our leaders against the people. Under Engr Nurudeen, the people of Edo state will be liberated and treated as human beings that deserve respect, consideration, security and welfare.

Religious tolerance:
Engr Nurudeen comes from an exciting Muslim-Christian background, and therefore has clear understanding of and tolerance for both religions.

His constituency:
Ordinarily, it would appear as political naiveté to expect a new governor from the constituency of the outgoing governor, but therein lies the way of the future for us as a people. It is within this context that excellence will overtake ethnocentrism. Edo governor must be for every Edo citizen, irrespective of ABCD tribe, clan, senatorial district etc. We daresay, therefore, he will lead the nation in this rebirth of excellence over ethnocentrism in our leadership recruitment process.

Trust & reliability:
For how long will we continue the vicious cycle of handing power to those we cannot trust, and immediately beginning the journey of complaining and regretting. Today, we have a man that is honest, bold, dynamic, professional and trustworthy. The time to wake up is now!

Peace & Unity:
There is a clear, visible and extremely worrisome dichotomy between three major parties, we need the Noah’s Ark, the bridge-builder. Engr, Nurudeen has no god-father, owes no one no special favours, has no sworn enemies, and therefore, stands the best chance to unite Edo into that cohesive machine that will be the most enabling environment for direct foreign investment

Finally, Engr Nurudeen subscribes to The Young Democratic Party’s( YDP) position of strategic responsibility transfer to the youth by promising to surpass the part position of 50% cabinet appointment to youths and 30% to women with his 60-40 (minimum) target. It is in light of the above and more, that I am proud, to present to the Great People of Edo State Engr Nurudeen for the Governor of the Great Edo state.
