WHY WERE WE FORMED ?


1. Having taken time to observe the
challenges of our time, and the
continuous struggle for Nigeria's
socio-economy, by which we have
become overwhelmed in recent
times, and the despondency in the
land, occasioned by increased
suffering among the majority of
Nigerians, a group of Nigerians with
common interest in finding solutions
to the issues, chose to come together
and form the Abundant Nigeria
Renewal Party (ANRP).


2. The party - as the name implies - is
focused on bringing back the
abundance for which Nigeria is
known - in terms of human and
material resources, and ensuring that
that abundance is shared by all
(shared prosperity). The second
concern of the party is the need for a
renaissance and renewal for the
country; a feat that will be achieved
when dynamism is entrenched in the
socio-political process and new ideas
are brought on board, especially from
Nigeria's largest demographic - the
youths.


3. The party therefore commits to
increasing the participation of young
people in the governance of their
fatherland, without prejudice to, and
without alienating other
demographics, especially older
people.


4. The party notices the urgency of the
moment, and the gutting of the
nation's finances by ills such as
corruption, nepotism, and general
mismanagement of the country's
social, political and economic
spheres, and the need to actively and
swiftly take action.


ANTI-CORRUPTION STANCE
One of the chief concerns of the party is
how to rid Nigeria of the corruption
problem which has seemingly taken on a
life of its own. To this extent, as the
party will go ahead and develop inclusive
and systematic strategies to eliminate
corruption in Nigeria's public space, all
members must commit to a zero-
tolerance stance on corruption in all
their dealings. Party members must not
give or take bribes or corrupt processes
which they handle


OUR GREEN COMMITMENT
In order to live our green commitment,
and as the first political party in Nigeria
with expressly stated goals around the
environment - its sustainability and its
care - members shall endeavor to
engage in environmentally-sustainable
practices as well as be actively involved
in cleanups and other sanitation events
which the party will sponsor from time
to time. Party launchings should be
accompanied with such events like
cleanups, free environmental education
to Nigerians, and tree-planting, among
others.


OUR COMMITMENT TO TRANSPARENCY
Because the party is committed to
transparency as a mark of its distinction,
all party events will be made
transparent and subject to scrutiny as
much as possible. Nominations for
positions will be based on open
competition articulation of intent and
ideas, and debate. Where we have only
one person vying for a position, they
shall still make a presentation of what
they intend to achieve so as to cross-
pollinate ideas and get value-addition
from members and executives. We shall
endeavor to avoid the word "secret" in
any of the party's undertakings.


FRUGAL MANAGEMENT OF RESOURCES
AND SACRIFICE TO MOTHERLAND
Because we agree that Nigeria's God-
given resources have not been well-
managed in the past, the party and all
its members in all their undertakings
shall commit to frugal management of
public and private resources in line with
global best standards. On no occasion
should we be seen to squander national
resources for personal comfort or
aggrandizement.



What We Want


1. We want people who have jobs or
businesses, and not "professional
politicians" to vie for offices at all
levels.


2. We want to try and limit the ages of
those we put forward within
constitutional requirements but also
below 55. We think that is fair
enough. We want young people but
we will not rub it in and engage in
anti-ageism. We must guard against
being seen as unnecessarily
exuberant hotheads.


3. We want to promote the involvement
of women and young people in
politics and administration and so will
encourage them to step forward...
with their ideas. We believe the best
ideas reside in this demographic.


4. We want people of reasonable and
modest means in our party; self-
made people preferably, with
verifiable businesses or careers. We
are not after moneybags. We are also
not a platform for the perpetuation
of poverty and despondency. We
shall encourage ALL who choose to
join us to get something going. We
are fiercely independent and this
must show in everything we do.


5. This party is about SACRIFICE. We
don't want people who are seeking
for quick money and benefits on
board. Anyone coming with the
mindset of "chop-and-quench", or
"kill-and-divide", will not be
recognized and will be watched
keenly.
