I Am Here To Unite Nigerians - Newly Sworn-In President Of All Nigerian Community Speaks

The ANC president served as the acting president for two years before he was sworn in


The newly elected President of the All Nigeria Community (ANC) Ghana chapter, Albert Asaolu says he will not relent in his quest to change the perception of Nigerians living in Ghana.

Asaolu, who took the office as the substantive leader of the community on Monday, April 8 disclosed that “he is aware of the enormous task” Nigerians face in Ghana.

The ANC president served as the acting president for two years before he was sworn in early this week.

Speaking at the ceremony held at the premises of the Nigerian High Commission in Ghana, he said the “journey he experienced before arriving here is not easy” adding he was inspired on this journey because he wanted to “serve humanity”.

Excerpts of his statement reads “The journey and the hurdles experienced before arriving here today has not been easy. At times, I will ask myself why I am disturbing myself but something keeps telling me that serving humanity is a great task because the office I am aspiring for does not attract any salary.”

“We are aware of the enormous task faced by Nigerians citizens here. Some are self imposed trouble, others are rather caused by hatred or misrepresentation. Regardless of which, we shall dedicate ourselves to effective change to the best of our abilities,” he continued.

Asaolu disclosed he will liaise with the relevant authorities in Ghana to address some of the issues that are affecting Nigerians in Ghana while indicating his outfit also seeks to enhance business growth between Ghana and Nigeria by organising business related events.

With all this in the offing, the ANC President said his first line of action will be to unite Nigerians and the various communities.

"My first line of action is to unite my people. Without unity, no nation can progress, and I acknowledge the lack of cohesion that has hindered us. By the Grace of God, I am committed to addressing this and believe we will achieve unity," he said.

On his part, Nigerian High Commissioner to Ghana, Aliyu Usman Bakori, congratulated Mr Asaolu for winning the elections and urged him to govern with tolerance to foster a prosperous and enduring community.

“Leadership requires tolerance, sacrifice, and maturity. Find ways of harmonising the purpose of understanding,” he said.
