ADDRESS BY COMRADE (PRINCE) WILLIAMS

ENIREDONANA AKPOREHA, ON THE OFFICIAL

UNVEILING OF WORKING PEOPLE UNITED ON 6TH

MARCH 2026 AT THE PTD HOTEL, 50 MOSES

MAJEKUNDOMI STREET, UTAKO, ABUJA.

Distinguished leaders of labour, respected hardworking

class, our great market women, agile youth leaders, ever

resourceful professionals, fourth estate of the realm and

other great fellow Nigerians present.

Today marks a historic moment as we formally unveil

Working People United, a grassroots movement built on the

strength, resilience, and aspirations of ordinary Nigerians.

This movement represents the collective voice of workers,

artisans, traders, farmers, professionals, transporters, and

all hardworking citizens who form the backbone of our

great nation’s economy.

Working People United was established with a clear and

patriotic mission: to galvanize and mobilize Nigerians

across all sectors of the economy to actively participate in

shaping the future of our country and to ensure the

continuation of leadership that prioritizes national

development, economic stability, and the welfare of the

masses.

Since assuming office on May 29, 2023, President Bola

Ahmed Tinubu has taken bold and decisive steps to

reposition Nigeria for sustainable growth and shared

prosperity. Leadership is never about choosing the easy

path; it is about choosing the path that secures the future

of the nation.

The reforms and policies introduced by this administration

demonstrate courage, foresight, and commitment to

building a stronger Nigeria. There have been several pro-

working people achievements of President Bola Ahmed

Tinubu since his assumption of office

Beyond wages, the administration has introduced several

pro-people and pro-poor initiatives designed to cushion the

effects of economic reforms and support vulnerable

Nigerians.

Through expanded social investment programmes and

direct cash transfer initiatives, millions of low-income

households are being supported with financial assistance

to help them meet basic needs. These targeted

interventions are helping to protect the most vulnerable

members of society while broader economic reforms take

effect.

Policies aimed at improving access to credit for small

businesses, traders, and artisans are gradually expanding

economic opportunities at the grassroots level. These

initiatives recognize that Nigeria’s economy is driven not

only by large corporations but also by millions of

hardworking small-scale entrepreneurs across the country.

Working People United, therefore, stands as a platform to

enlighten Nigerians about these reforms, to promote

constructive engagement between government and

citizens, and to mobilize and advocate for policies that will

move the nation forward.

As we look ahead to 2027, this movement will play a critical

role in ensuring that the progress currently being made is

sustained and enhanced upon. Our goal is to mobilize

millions of workers, artisans, traders, farmers,

professionals and everyday Nigerians to support the

continuation of policies and programmes designed to

rebuild our economy and strengthen our national

institutions for a greater Nigeria

We recognize that the journey of reform is never easy.

Change often comes with temporary challenges, but history

50, Moses Majekundomi Street, Utako, Abuja.

07031881138, 08033102277

has shown that nations that remain committed to difficult

but necessary reforms ultimately emerge stronger and

more prosperous.

Working People United movement will continue to educate,

mobilize, and empower citizens with facts and with the

vision of a better Nigeria.

We must reject the politics of misinformation, division, and

empty promises. Instead, we must embrace responsible

citizenship, constructive dialogue, and collective national

purpose.

The strength of this movement lies in its people, the toiling

working class, the mechanics in our workshops, the traders

in our markets, the farmers in our rural communities, the

drivers on our roads, the professionals in our offices, and

the young Nigerians whose dreams will shape the future of

this country.

Today’s unveiling of the Working People United is not one

of those praise singing gathering, but a movement of a

national awakening among working people who

understand that the future of Nigeria must be built through

unity, hard work, proactive and responsible leadership.

Working People United is a gathering and movement of like

minds who not only believe in the importance of good

governance but also believe that in achieving good

50, Moses Majekundomi Street, Utako, Abuja.

07031881138, 08033102277

governance, there must be a dedicated driver, a dynamic

visionary, a committed game changer who sees beyond the

ordinary to make things work for the interests of all.

As a group committed to good governance and policy

implementation, we have seen President Bola Ahmed

Tinubu put the machinery of making Nigeria a greater

nation in motion, and therefore be encouraged to finish

what destiny has put in his hands. How do we achieve that?

It’s 4+4!

I call on all Nigerians who believe in progress, stability, and

national development to join this movement. Let us

organize peacefully, mobilize responsibly, and work

tirelessly to ensure that Nigeria continues on the path of

reform, growth, and opportunity.

Together, we will amplify the voice of the working people.

Together, we will defend the progress that has begun.

And together, we will build a stronger Nigeria for ourselves

and for generations yet unborn.

Thank you, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
