The National Reformation Party as the New Mid West Regional Political Thrust in to the Nigerian Federalism . Frank Ukonga
and others to Rejig NRP and the Mid West Region of Nigeria that has been
Marginalized for 52 years.
LEGACY OF CHIEF ENAHORO, AWOLOWO, AMINU KANU, ZIK MUST LIVE ON.
The National Reformation Party was established in 1999 by
Chief Anthony Enahoro as a continuation of the offshoot of the UPN and Action
Group of Chief Obafemi Awolowo who was his political partner in the South West
after the demise of the late sage.
Chief Antony Enahoro was a staunch member of the Action
Group as well as the Unity Party and Alliance for Democracy and as a great
political partner and associate of the leader of the West Chief Obafemi Awolowo
. But After the failure of the Nation to give MKO Abiola his mandate of June 12
it became imperative for Chief Anthony Enahoro to join hands with like minds to
form NADECO an umbrella pressure group that chased General Sani Abacha out of
power. Subsequently with the Tinubu /Afenifere fued in AD of Chief Bola Ige,
Chief Anthony Enahoro had no choice but to lead his group Nationally and to
channel a new path for the development of the progressives and the continuation
of the noble ideals of his great partners of Obafemi Awolowo, zik, Balewa, Sir
Ahmadu Bello, Alhaji Aminu Kano etal, whose philosophies of nationalism has
been adulterated by opportunist using their names to gain access into the foray
of Nigerian and international politicking with impunity.
So it became mandatory for Chief Anthony Enahoro to channel
an ideal course of dialectical and historical development of the Nigerian state
addressed to continue to retain, maintain and nurture the ideology, and
philosophical tenets of the Nationalism in an order of continuum of mutantis
mutandis while carrying other ideals of Balewa, Zik, Ahmadu Bello, Macauley
Malam Aminu Kano, along in that composite juxtaposition of the nationalistic,
struggles and successes, which they all fought for in oneness for Nigeria to be
free.
But today their great legacies are in ruins. Ruined by some
opportunist who taunt their names about to gain political entry into the schemes
of thing and later become looters of the same school of thought that made
them... A case of using the ladder ideological and political of these great
nationalist, honest heroes of Nigerian state and messing it up.
The time has come to rejig the legacies of Chief Anthony
Enahoro, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief Bola Ige, Alhaji Tafawa Balewa, Sir
Ahmadu Bello, Zik, Okpara and the likes of them whom Chief Anthony Enahoro
metamorphosized in NRP party as the last of the TITANS to go to our ancestors
just a few month ago.
So the game plan is that for Nigeria to survive the present
national crisis we have to take a step backward in thinking to analyze how our
previous leaders and heroes solve that problem and today the answer is NRP- The
National Reformation Party
The Director of Research and development of National Peoples
News Dr Patrick Iwebo speaking with Barrister Soni Chukwuma , the National
Secretary of NRP confirmed this report and Soni was quick to add that ;
:” Today the National Reformation Party NRP has evolved as
the new political and social praxis of the Nigerian Nation State that is the
only true Nationalist party retaining the great ideals of the founding Heroes
of Nigeria in its purity...’ And he added
“Our game plan is to rejig the Party and use it as a
platform to bring in other progressive like minds like the SDMP, ADC, ACN,
ANPP, CPC NAP, LP, into our fold and under our leadership to present a
formidable platform that can wrestle power from the PDP in 2015 addressed to lead the Nigerian Nation
state to the promised land and librate Nigeria from the imprisonment of the
cabals”
On why they did not present a presidential candidate in 2011
general elections in Nigeria Soni Chukwuma the vibrant National Secretary of
NRP replied thus:
“We had a Presidential candidate for 2011 polls who was in person of
H.E. Prince frank Ukonga but as at when we wanted to host the primaries and
give him our party flag the leader of our great party Chief Anthony Enahoro
died. And it was in the election period .and the burial, events took over
events.’
“But today we have emerged stronger, more formidable and we shall
present candidates for all posts in Nigeria including a formidable intelligent
vibrant and sound Presidential candidate.”
Speaking with the Chairman of the NRP Chief
A.C. Chukwu in Enugu he confirmed that the party has big plans for the
2015 elections and would be a party that
will spring surprise.
The National Legal adviser of the NRP Party Chief Robinson
Momoh -SAN- also confirmed the great plans of the NRP for the coming 2015
general elections.
As for weather the NRP will re present Prince Frank Ukonga
as NRP Presidential candidate in 2015, Soni Chukwuma, the erudite Barrister
offered the following observations:
“Prince Frank Ukonga is an intelligent, rightly guided intelligentsia
with vision and focus, from the mould of the founding fathers of the Nigerian
state. He has the ability and clout to lead the Nigeria State from the present
social economic quagmire, we endorse him for any post he is seeking for in the
Nigerian Federation and we call on other progressives to endorse him”
Our reporters called Prince frank Ukonga for his opinion on
2015 and he replied thus
‘ Oh -2015 Presidency- no shaking, i dey kamkpe’
