Calvary greetings to all young Nigerians who are interested in anchoring the cross of the Nigerian state in Golgotha. It is with a very heavy heart that I read on the pages of newspapers and other online media that young Nigerians in their million were called for what I call National punishment on Saturday 15th March 2014.
Many people from my immediate constituency; the youth constituency were killed by evil machination of the government all under the false illusion that they will be given a job in the Nation’s Immigration Service. I write to call comrades to action because an injury to one is an injury to all. We should not let the blood of our friends, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands and sons go to waste like that. Their blood must cause a tsunami that will wash away the current irresponsible political edifices in the country be it PDP or APC.
The government of the day must pay dearly for this mistake, the current crop of old and expired politicians must be sacked. The youth constituency needs to realign, we need to float a political party for the youth, by the youth and a party of youthful ingenuity that will take the Nigerian Nation out of the gridlock of unemployment and underemployment at every level. A party that will seize power from the current political jobbers we have in the country. A party that will not crate the Nigeria our founding fathers dreamt off, but the Nigeria that we and our children yet unborn will be proud of. A party of market women, artisans, deprived civil servants and all the Talakawas of the Federal Republic.
Our party will be of a radical ideology we shall plant our root deep in the mind, soul and heart of every Nigeria. Our party secretariats shall be in the heart of that unemployed Kanuri graduate, our party offices shall be in the head of that underemployed Yoruba artisan, our party leader shall be that eighteen years old boy who lost his only sister to the quest for non-existent immigration job, our party chairmen shall be drawn from youthful leaders in our tertiary institutions, youthful leaders in market places, motor parks, focused youth corps members, beggars on the streets, Fulani herds boys and every bona fide member of the People’s Republic of the Talakawa.
During our membership drive our first port of call shall be over seven hundred thousand Nigerians who were duped of one thousand naira and spray tear gas for coming to write the examination to justify their payment of the illegal money. We shall reach out to all the applicants of the immigration scam with seven hundred thousand people who have mothers, fathers and at least one sibling our party will start with at least 2.8 million Nigerians. During our membership drive we shall reach out to all students on our campuses.
Our party shall have two types of members’ honourary members and main members. Honourary members shall be drawn from Nigerians who are over forty years of age. These members will serve only as advisers at every level. While our members ranging from ages 18-40 will contest elections and hold political offices in trust for the entire Talakawa Republic.
This is a charge for us to make sure that 2015 election is a contest of us against them. The oppressed against the oppressors, the victims against the victimizers, the applicants against the employer. We must make them understand that Nigeria belongs to all of us. We own an equal share in the entity just as they do. Our strategy as political party shall be thus, we will fly candidates for 109 seats in the Senate, 360 seats in the House of Representatives, 36 state government Houses, all local government and council wards. For now our party will not have National Executives for fear of dividing on ethnic or religious lines. But we shall have executives in every Ward, Local Government, House of Representative Constituency, Senatorial Zone and State Level. We must avoid the slips of the forebears in other political parties our religion and tribe must be the Talakawa Republic. Twin Demons of Religion and Tribe must count for nothing.
If all the victims of immigration fraud and their families can put their force behind our grate party we are sure of winning at least 22 states in the country and corresponding victory in the National Assembly, subsequently we shall use our more solidified structures in the Federal Republic to take over Aso Rock on or before 2019.
That Nigerian youth reading this letter and it seem as though it is impossibility for the youth to coagulate into a movement that will destroy the current corrupt political edifice we have in this country, remember the struggle for the emancipation of slaves was started by a human being also remember that the shackles of apartheid would never have being broken if the likes of Mandela, Steven Biko, Oliver Tambo had not taken their destiny in their hands. The time to rise and engage the enemies of Nation is now.
