By Victor Valentine
The One Nigeria Movement has inaugurated its National Coordinator and State Coordinators in Abuja, with a renewed call for Nigerians across ethnic, religious, political and cultural divides to unite in the interest of national development.
The inauguration ceremony, held on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at Bolingo Hotel, Abuja, brought together political stakeholders, youth and women leaders, civil society representatives, community leaders, members of the media and other invited guests.
The event also attracted prominent Nigerian personalities, including His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, and His Excellency, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Governor of Kano State, alongside other notable Nigerians and supporters of the movement.
The inauguration marked what the organisers described as a significant step in strengthening the structure of the One Nigeria Movement and expanding its presence across the country.
Speaking during the occasion, the organisers stressed the need for Nigerians to promote unity, peaceful coexistence and responsible citizenship, while placing the collective interest of the nation above ethnic, religious, regional and other sectional considerations.
They maintained that Nigeria's diversity remains one of its defining characteristics and should be harnessed as an asset for national development rather than allowed to become a source of division.
According to the organisers, the movement seeks to provide a platform through which citizens can engage constructively on issues affecting the country, encourage national integration and promote greater participation in the affairs of the nation.
The newly inaugurated National and State Coordinators are expected to provide leadership and coordination for the movement at their respective levels, mobilise citizens and promote the organisation's objectives across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory.
A major focus of the event was the role of Nigerian youths in nation-building. The movement called for greater opportunities for young people to contribute their talents, ideas, innovation and energy towards the development of the country.
The organisers also emphasised the importance of women in national development, calling for increased participation of women in leadership, entrepreneurship, community development and decision-making processes.
They further advocated constructive dialogue among Nigerians, urging citizens to embrace peaceful engagement and respect differing opinions, particularly in an increasingly competitive political and social environment.
The movement noted that the task of building a stronger Nigeria should not be left to government alone, stressing that citizens, political leaders, traditional institutions, religious organisations, professionals, businesses, civil society groups and the media all have important roles to play.
It also called on Nigerians to promote responsible citizenship by contributing positively to their communities, supporting peaceful coexistence and demanding accountability through lawful and democratic means.
The inauguration ended with a renewed commitment by members and supporters of the movement to promote the ideals of “One Nigeria, One People, One Destiny,” while working towards a united, peaceful, inclusive and prosperous nation.
The newly inaugurated coordinators are expected to commence their respective responsibilities by strengthening grassroots engagement and expanding the movement's activities across the country.
