Both for the present, and future, our aim is to bring together visionary and patriotic Nigerians who have been part of the political struggle for good governance, true federalism and a more equitable Nigerian state. Our aim is to mobilise progressive thinkers and supporters to key into our vision, which is centred on the idea of getting our best of at home and in the Diaspora into the next governments in Nigeria through a united, well-coordinated cooperative movement across the Nigerian Diaspora population such that by the elections of 2023, Diaspora Nigerians will be accepted, respected and seen as partners in Nigeria’s National developmental agenda by political parties.
The Bottom-line of our movement is that we are a people focused political group and think tank dedicated to the emergence of new public policy and political ideas in Nigeria. We seek to enthrone the idea that our individual and collective prosperity comes from allowing and promoting enterprise whilst constantly seeking to uplift and enable the weakest and poorest to both achieve their full given potentials and pursuit of happiness. Yes, ours is a message of prosperity for the many and not only the few.
We wish to mobilise progressive thinkers and supporters worldwide to key into our vision. We aim to get as many capable Nigerians as possible into the next governments in Nigeria through a united, well-coordinated cooperative movement involving Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora. We believe that through united action Nigeria will have in offices at all levels her best, ablest, and patriotic citizens who are determined to make the country work for the majority and not the few by as early as 2023 when the next Presidential and local elections take place.
Beyond Nigeria, we aim to build a new reenergized collaborative global pan African movement that is people centred political movement committed to ensuring the eventual emergence of a strong, culturally confident, social democratic political leadership across the continent starting with Nigeria as a great exemplar of a modern historically embedded African state.
Come join us and let us do it together!
On Wednesday August 21, 2013 in Abuja, Chief Bisi Akande, the first Chairman of the APC at the launch of the party’s manifesto noted that the underpinning philosophy for the formation of the APC was “the determination to bring the country back from the brink of collapse, despair, and possible disintegration; reposition it decisively on the route to emerging into a modern stable democratic nation, with a productive economy that is based on equity and justice for all citizens.” Indeed, the APC looked to position Nigeria to assume her proper place in world affairs commensurate with its size and status as the leading black nation in the world. The APC is now running her second term at the Presidential level and we feel the pulse of the people and understand that our party must refocus and provide the kind of leadership, and much more for Nigeria to become the Nigeria of our dream.
Hope 2023 is being pioneered by members of the All Progressives Congress who believe that the party still remains the only political vehicle with the keys and ideological vision to resolve Nigeria’s many political contradictions and position the country for quantum leap into global significance.
Our aim at Hope 2023 is to engage and promote our best into leadership positions of the party and government through connecting party grassroot members. Members of our movement in the party will be empowered to see themselves as critical stakeholders in party and government decisions. We intend to transform our party into what she was originally intended to be; a truly people centred political party with the radical ideological fervour to change Nigeria for the best, and into the true giant of Africa, capable of realising and unleashing her full potential for the good of her people and the country. We see this role as a mandate and one of historical calling which is worth siding with and fighting for.
On the global front, a politically strong, stable, and prospering Nigeria holds the key to the emergence of global respect for all peoples of African ancestry in view of her population and the enormous potential which has been shown by her Diaspora citizens in Education, economic power, and political engagement in countries around the world. Here at Hope 2023 we want to secure the rapid realization of this ideal within the shortest time possible by deploying our best into political leadership. A strong, politically stable, ably led Nigeria will witness rapid National transformation and development. This is good for Nigeria, for Africa and the world.
Ours is a mission of the possibilities in the audacity of Hope. Hope that Nigerians and our friends will see with us the great benefit a better and equitably administered Nigeria hold for all Nigerians and the world.
The bottom-line of our movement is: We are a socially conscious political group within the APC dedicated to the emergence of new public policy and political ideas in Nigeria.
HOPE 2023
