The Sun Must Rise Prepared
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">In the East where the morning breaks first,</span></p><p>Where red earth stains the soles of dreamers</p><p>And ambition trades in open markets,</p><p>A question lingers like harmattan dust:</p><p><br/></p><p>What must we build</p><p>To raise a president from among us?</p><p><br/></p><p>Not a throne carved from complaint.</p><p>Not a crown woven from memory.</p><p>But a future engineered with discipline.</p><p><br/></p><p>From Abia State’s industrious workshops</p><p>To Anambra State’s restless commerce,</p><p>From Ebonyi State’s stubborn soil</p><p>To Enugu State’s historic hills,</p><p>And Imo State’s crowded streets—</p><p>Let five voices learn the power of one.</p><p><br/></p><p>For a divided house</p><p>Negotiates from weakness.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let rivalry grow quiet.</p><p>Let party lines blur before purpose.</p><p>Let governors, elders, youth, and traders</p><p>Agree on a single horizon.</p><p><br/></p><p>Unity is the first campaign.</p><p><br/></p><p>But unity alone is not enough.</p><p><br/></p><p>Stretch hands beyond the Niger’s curve.</p><p>No region crowns itself in Nigeria.</p><p>The path to Aso Rock</p><p>Runs through alliances—</p><p>Through trust built in the North,</p><p>Partnership shaped in the West,</p><p>Solidarity strengthened in the South-South.</p><p><br/></p><p>Politics is arithmetic,</p><p>And coalitions are its mathematics.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let the East also speak in the language of power—</p><p>Economic strength.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let Aba’s factories hum louder.</p><p>Let Onitsha’s markets expand wider.</p><p>Let technology rise from classrooms,</p><p>Let agriculture feed more than pride.</p><p>When a region becomes indispensable,</p><p>It becomes influential.</p><p><br/></p><p>Prosperity commands attention</p><p>Where protest cannot.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then awaken participation.</p><p>Let voter turnout rise like a tide.</p><p>Let young people move from hashtags</p><p>To town halls.</p><p>Let leadership be cultivated</p><p>In local councils, in policy rooms,</p><p>In years of service—not months of ambition.</p><p><br/></p><p>The presidency is not a four-year project.</p><p>It is a generational investment.</p><p><br/></p><p>And when a candidate finally emerges,</p><p>Let him not stand merely as “an Igbo man,”</p><p>But as a Nigerian statesman—</p><p>Competent, steady, unifying.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let his record speak louder than sentiment.</p><p>Let his vision stretch wider than tribe.</p><p>Let his credibility silence doubt.</p><p><br/></p><p>For Nigeria will not entrust her future</p><p>To identity alone—</p><p>But to capacity.</p><p><br/></p><p>The East must rewrite its narrative:</p><p>From grievance to governance.</p><p>From exclusion to excellence.</p><p>From frustration to foresight.</p><p><br/></p><p>If discipline overcomes division,</p><p>If strategy tempers emotion,</p><p>If unity outweighs ego—</p><p><br/></p><p>Then the sun that rises in the East</p><p>Will not rise for one people alone,</p><p>But for all of Nigeria.</p><p><br/></p><p>And when that day comes,</p><p>It will not be an accident of politics—</p><p>But the reward of preparation.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
