In a country yearning for true patriots and visionary leaders, Maryam Shetty stands out as a beacon of hope.

Through her efforts, youths across Nigeria were mobilized and instilled the feeling of patriotism and embraced the Nigerian dream, where national interest is elevated above personal, ethnic, regional and religious interests.
In doing this, Maryam’s approach was consistent, focusing on rural communities to domesticate the patriotic drive. She established cluster groups, spreading the message of Nigeria’s abundance of opportunities and fostering hope during times of despair. The movement’s essence became rooted in love for the nation, unwavering belief in the fatherland, and a drive for patriotic zeal, quickly spreading the ‘We believe’ ideology like wildfire across Nigeria.
Her sustained efforts turned her into a symbol of hope and patriotism for young Nigerians, revitalizing their spirits with a newfound sense of national consciousness. Her dedication to preaching patriotism went beyond the realm of social media bravado, touching the lives of many.

Yesterday’s history is guilty of forgetting the sacrifices of many progressive heroes in the All Progressive Congress, without whose contribution the grip the party has today would never have been possible. The government of yesterday totally obliterated the sacrifices of party members who worked for the success of the party, leaving agencies, boards, and other portfolios vacant for eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. Maryam Shetty’s nomination is the ultimate remedy to the years of utter political non-reward. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu understands this imbalance and is earnestly addressing the years of total neglect.
The ascendancy and rising profiles of nations like China and India can be directly attributed to their patriotic leadership. Patriotism encompasses pride in a country’s values, culture, and inherent greatness. Chinese leadership embodies this through ‘aiguozhuyi,’ translating to ‘love and support for China,’ requiring individuals to prioritize national pride over personal interests. This commitment is evident in China’s resolute pursuit of global competition and distinction among nations.
