We are here because of High Chief Promise Lawuru who is contesting the position of Warri Federal Constituency seat. A man who stands by his words anytime any day. That is the kind of person we will work for.
The significance of this endorsement, as reported by ThisDay, lies in its proactive nature and the clear message it sends about the youth demographic's increasing influence in Nigerian politics. The coalition's declaration that they have already mobilized funds to purchase Lawuru's nomination form demonstrates a high level of organization and determination. This move preempts the party primaries and signals a strong grassroots mandate for Lawuru.
We the youths of Warri hereby endorse Chief Promise Lawuru as our sole candidate for the Warri Federal Constituency seat. We are supporting him because he has capacity. He has the pains of his people at heart. We urge all youths across the constituency to preach the gospel of Promise Lawuru ahead of the primaries and thereafter the general election.
Speaking on behalf of the diverse youth groups, Prince Nosa Temisan Owei articulated the collective belief in Lawuru's capacity and his dedication to representing the interests of the Warri Federal Constituency, with a particular focus on youth engagement. Similarly, Mr. Moses Aguda, representing non-indigenes, lauded Lawuru as a "bridge builder and a unifier" who can "redeem the people of Warri federal constituency." The Itsekiri and Urhobo youth representatives further affirmed their unwavering support, emphasizing Lawuru's youthfulness and his potential to effectively represent their communities at the national level.
Because we know Chief Promise Lawuru to be a bridge builder and a unifier. We see politics beyond tribal sentiments. He is the man who has come to redeem the people of Warri federal constituency and we have confidence in him and we believe in him that he will deliver. We believe he will keep the mic aloud at the green chamber. This is the time we need an energetic youth, a man who sees politics beyond tribalism, who has touched humanity beyond doubt.
This collective endorsement is more than just a political statement; it is a testament to Lawuru's perceived ability to transcend ethnic and tribal sentiments, a crucial factor in Nigeria's complex political landscape. The youths' commitment to ensuring his representation in the "green chamber" reflects a desire for dynamic and responsive leadership. The proactive funding initiative underscores a new era of youth-led political engagement, where community mobilization and financial independence are key to achieving electoral success.
We have the money ready and once the window of buying forms is open, we will move to purchase the form for him.
