With this platform, we the Alliance for New Nigeria affirm the principles that unite us in a common purpose. We believe in the Nigerian uniqueness. We believe Nigeria is like no other country in the world. We affirm our constitutional system — limited government, separation of powers, federalism, and the rights of the people — must be preserved un-compromised for future generations. We affirm political freedom and economic freedom are indivisible. When political freedom and economic freedom are separated — both are in peril; when united, they are invincible. We affirm that people are the ultimate resource — and that the people, not the government, are the best stewards of our country’s God-given natural resources. Based on these principles, this platform is an invitation and a roadmap. It invites every Nigerian to join us and shows the path to a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Nigeria. This manifesto is optimistic because the people are optimistic for transformation. This manifesto lays out — in clear language — the path to making Nigeria great and united again.
 
The Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) was formed as a party with the lofty objectives to pull Nigeria back from the fringe of socio-political and economic hopelessness it has been plunged by successive visionless, self-centered and myopic leaders thrown up as head of government for over fifty years post-colonial independence.  At independence, Nigeria’s potential as the leader of the black race was not in doubt. The general opinion and understanding was ‘here lies the giant of Africa” the country to lead Africa to economic and political prosperity. Over Fifty years after, the expectations have remained a potential. The lofty dream and struggles of our heroes’ past has been eroded. Our dreams of making this country great in its full potential has remain forlorn. Nigeria has failed to realize its potentials, despite its vast human and material resources, rather, the country has been grappling with internal socio-political, economic issues that has almost crippled its development. The country has been bedeviled by serious debilitating issues as a consequence of inexcusably bad leadership.  Nigeria is blest with visibly evident symptoms of underdevelopment with all indices of growth and development in the negative.     Consequently, there has built up frustrations among the populace causing insurrections, insurgencies, militancy and trident calls for restructuring and revised resource allocation formula.  Added to this is the issue of false federal system of government in practice in Nigeria and the deliberate and orchestrated recycling of failed political leaders, ethnicity and grand promotion of mediocrity over merit in every aspect of governance and total failure in infrastructural development, and economic stagnation.  
 
THE INSPIRATION The blowing wind of real change across the globe through the ballot has inspired the formation of the Alliance for New Nigeria to drive the emergence of a new set of leaders. New visionary leaders who are technocrats first above being politicians. Leaders to rescue this country from inept, corrupted, bigoted, and mediocre leadership Nigeria has been plunged, as visibly evident in the last few years of the present government.   The ANN is poised and committed to pull Nigeria back from the precipice, through new and untainted, visionary and proven leaders committed to putting Nigeria and its development first.

 
This is the only inspiration and passion that can steer the ship of the Nigerian state away from destruction and back on to the path of sustainable development, national peace, prosperity and progress.
