Enough is Enough Nigeria (EiE), a network of individuals and organisations committed to instituting a culture of good governance and public accountability in Nigeria through active citizenship, has marked its 14th anniversary with a call to Nigerians to stay united to build the nation.
In a video to mark the anniversary, Yemi Adamolekun, EiE’s Executive Director, charged Nigerians to come together and collectively own the project of building the nation.
Adamolekun stressed the need for individual and collective power, as well as active engagement in communities and with elected officials.
Speaking about the country’s situation, Adamolekun acknowledged the difficult times, citing issues such as the kidnapping of school children in the north, the unbecoming behavior of National Assembly members, and the questionable decisions by some state commissioners to have a retreat in London.
However, she reminded Nigerians of the remarkable progress made since the inception of EiE with the Abuja protest led by young people 14 years ago, noting that “We’ve made some progress, but there’s still a lot more to be done, and it’s certainly not just about elections.”
She highlighted EiE’s core mission of promoting the “Office of the Citizen“, empowering Nigerians to recognize and exercise their power as citizens in a democracy.
“Nigeria is certainly worth fighting for,” ‘Yemi added, urging Nigerians to remain steadfast and hopeful in their pursuit of a better nation.
Enough is Enough Nigeria’s 14th anniversary celebration serves as a rallying call for citizens to embrace their shared humanity, own the Nigeria project, exercise their power, and engage in shaping the nation’s future.
The organization remains committed to fostering active citizenship and holding leaders accountable for a better Nigeria.
