ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – A call for national rebirth, grassroots mobilisation, and collective civic responsibility took centre stage in Abuja as Dr Moses Paul addressed participants at the OK Movement Unity Summit.
Speaking at the event held at Barcelona Hotel, Dr. Paul urged Nigerians to embrace unity and take active ownership of the country’s future, stressing that meaningful change cannot be driven solely by political elites.
Dr Paul who took to his X handle on Saturday to disclose this, stressed that the power of the people will always be greater than the power of politics,” he declared, warning that Nigeria cannot be transformed through slogans, propaganda, or elite arrangements alone. According to him, real national progress begins when ordinary citizens recognise their collective strength and refuse to be divided or manipulated.
Highlighting the significance of the 2027 general elections, the speaker said the moment must transcend routine political contests and instead mark a turning point for national awakening. He urged Nigerians to stop seeing themselves as victims and begin to act as custodians of the nation’s destiny.
Dr. Paul also decried the exploitation of ethnic, religious, and regional differences by political actors, describing it as a major obstacle to national progress.
He noted that poverty, hunger, and insecurity cut across all divides, insisting that the future lies in unity built on competence, justice, and productivity rather than identity politics.
“Unity is not a political convenience; it is a survival strategy,” he said, adding that those who seek to divide the country are threatened by an enlightened and united population.
The address further emphasised grassroots mobilisation as the cornerstone of sustainable transformation. Dr. Paul called for increased civic engagement at community levels, including markets, campuses, religious centres, and among young people, urging citizens to move beyond online criticism to active participation in nation-building.
He encouraged Nigerians to prioritise civic education, protect their votes, and hold public institutions accountable, noting that lasting change requires citizens to become active contributors rather than passive observers.
Concluding his remarks, Dr. Paul underscored the need for sacrifice, courage, and principled leadership, stating that Nigeria’s progress depends on citizens and leaders rejecting corruption, resisting intimidation, and standing firmly for justice.
“The Nigeria we seek is possible,” he said. “But it will only become reality when people choose unity over division, sacrifice over comfort, and national interest over personal gain.”
Precise Post recalls that the summit forms part of ongoing efforts by civic groups to promote unity and citizen-driven development across the country.
