Distinguished leaders of labour, respected hardworking
class, our great market women, agile youth leaders, ever
resourceful professionals, fourth estate of the realm and other great fellow Nigerians present.
“Today marks a historic moment as we formally unveil Working People United, a grassroots movement built on the strength, resilience, and aspirations of ordinary Nigerians.
“This movement represents the collective voice of workers,
artisans, traders, farmers, professionals, transporters, and
all hardworking citizens who form the backbone of our great nation’s economy.
“Working People United was established with a clear and patriotic mission : to galvanize and mobilize Nigerians
across all sectors of the economy to actively participate in shaping the future of our country and to ensure the continuation of leadership that prioritizes national development, economic stability, and the welfare of the masses.
“Since assuming office on May 29, 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken bold and decisive steps to reposition Nigeria for sustainable growth and shared prosperity.
“Leadership is never about choosing the easy path; it is about choosing the path that secures the future of the nation.
“The reforms and policies introduced by this administration
demonstrate courage, foresight, and commitment to building a stronger Nigeria.
“There have been several pro-working people achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu since his assumption of office
Beyond wages, the administration has introduced several
pro-people and pro-poor initiatives designed to cushion the effects of economic reforms and support vulnerable Nigerians.
“Through expanded social investment programmes and direct cash transfer initiatives, millions of low-income households are being supported with financial assistance to help them meet basic needs.
“These targeted interventions are helping to protect the most vulnerable members of society while broader economic reforms take
effect.
“Policies aimed at improving access to credit for small businesses, traders, and artisans are gradually expanding economic opportunities at the grassroots level.
“These initiatives recognize that Nigeria’s economy is driven not
only by large corporations but also by millions of hardworking small-scale entrepreneurs across the country.
“Working People United, therefore, stands as a platform to enlighten Nigerians about these reforms, to promote constructive engagement between government and
citizens, and to mobilize and advocate for policies that will move the nation forward.
“As we look ahead to 2027, this movement will play a critical role in ensuring that the progress currently being made is
sustained and enhanced upon.
“Our goal is to mobilize
millions of workers, artisans, traders, farmers, professionals and everyday Nigerians to support the
continuation of policies and programmes designed to rebuild our economy and strengthen our national institutions for a greater Nigeria
“We recognize that the journey of reform is never easy.
“Change often comes with temporary challenges, but history has shown that nations that remain committed to difficult but necessary reforms ultimately emerge stronger and
more prosperous.
“Working People United movement will continue to educate, mobilize, and empower citizens with facts and with the vision of a better Nigeria.
“We must reject the politics of misinformation, division, and empty promises.
“Instead, we must embrace responsible citizenship, constructive dialogue, and collective national purpose.
“The strength of this movement lies in its people, the toiling
working class, the mechanics in our workshops, the traders in our markets, the farmers in our rural communities, the drivers on our roads, the professionals in our offices, and the young Nigerians whose dreams will shape the future of this country.
“Today’s unveiling of the Working People United is not one of those praise singing gathering, but a movement of a national awakening among working people who understand that the future of Nigeria must be built through unity, hard work, proactive and responsible leadership.
“Working People United is a gathering and movement of like
minds who not only believe in the importance of good governance but also believe that in achieving good
governance, there must be a dedicated driver, a dynamic visionary, a committed game changer who sees beyond the ordinary to make things work for the interests of all.
“As a group committed to good governance and policy implementation, we have seen President Bola Ahmed Tinubu put the machinery of making Nigeria a greater nation in motion, and therefore be encouraged to finish what destiny has put in his hands. How do we achieve that?
It’s 4+4!
“I call on all Nigerians who believe in progress, stability, and national development to join this movement.
“Let us organize peacefully, mobilize responsibly, and work
tirelessly to ensure that Nigeria continues on the path of reform, growth, and opportunity.
“Together, we will amplify the voice of the working people.
“Together, we will defend the progress that has begun.
“And together, we will build a stronger Nigeria for ourselves and for generations yet unborn.
“Thank you, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
