Fellow Nigerians, yesterday we witnessed change come to our beloved fatherland with the successful elections aimed at transferring power from a democratically elected leader to another.
We, The Nigerian Community in Turkey wish to send our heartfelt congratulations to the President-Elect, General Mohammadu Buhari for his victory at the polls, which, by extension is a Nigerian victory. This is a sharp deviation from the body polity of the past and also sends a loud signal to the West African sub-region and indeed, Africa as a whole, that democracy in Nigeria has run full circle.
Let me start by thanking God almighty for sparing my/our lives through 2014 and ushering us into a new dawn, 2015. To him all glory and honour go.
The Great Council of Executives of our Community, I could not thank you enough. Through all the thick and the thicker, you pulled together and echoed the trumping of THE TRAIN. Through the bleakest of days, weeks, months and even years, when it seemed The Train had run out of steam and the bedrock of our Community in the face of falling, you pushed an extra mile, made one more call, contributed one more lira, dollar to see that victory for the Nigerian people in Turkey was snatched from the jaws of defeat. It is no secret ‘they’ tried to bury us, little did ‘they’ know we were seeds.Today, I salute you, and indeed I am humbled to be counted amongst your ranks.
Members of Nigerian Community Turkey (NICOT) and friends shall be featuring on "Çay TV" live programme on 20th January 2013. Starting 9:45PM.
