Manifesto
PREAMBLE
Nigeria has lost so much time that it
needs a radical approach to National Development. Since we gained independence
from Britain on October 1, 1960, we have been caught in a vicious circle of
mismanaged opportunities due largely to low quality political leadership.
Nigerians at home and abroad have watched other less endowed nations move
forward leaving us behind. We need to wake up the giant of Africa, compete,
catch up, and surpass all 'third world' countries to become one of the leading
nations of the world within a period of 20 years.
Concerned Nigerians determined to
promote change and build a great new Nigeria formed the National Transformation Party (NTP). The party is open to all
Nigerians irrespective of age, gender, faith tribe or state.
This manifesto encapsulates our vision,
mission, strategy and programmes to make Nigeria a lovely, lovable and great
nation.
