In a touching display of unity and resolve, the Network for Better Nigeria (NBN) has extended its deepest condolences to Major Dr. Hamza Al-Mustapha over the passing of his beloved sister, even as it reaffirmed its unwavering belief in his capacity to lead Nigeria into a more secure and prosperous future.
Led by its National Coordinator, Hon. Umar Lawal, the group paid a condolence visit to the Kogi State Chapter, where prayers were offered for the deceased and words of comfort shared with the Al-Mustapha family.
“We stand with Major Al-Mustapha in this moment of personal grief. We pray for Allah’s mercy upon his sister and for strength for the entire family,” Hon. Lawal said, his voice laced with emotion. “But even in sorrow, our movement finds strength and clarity.”
While the visit was rooted in compassion, it became a moment of reflection and political resolve for the movement. Hon. Lawal emphasized that the vision for a better Nigeria remains alive—and Al-Mustapha remains central to it.
“We are not just offering condolences—we are offering solidarity,” he said. “Nigeria needs healing, just as every grieving family does. And in Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, we see a leader shaped by both pain and purpose.”
The visit also served as a strategic stop in Hon. Lawal’s planned nationwide tour to engage state chapters, assess grassroots readiness, and energize the movement ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Lawal told members of the Kogi State Executive that 2027 will be a defining moment for Nigeria, and that the group’s efforts must reflect the seriousness of that task. He reaffirmed that Major Dr. Hamza Al-Mustapha embodies the values and experience needed to tackle insecurity, reduce unemployment, and reposition the economy.
“This is not the time for recycled promises or loud slogans. We need leadership rooted in national interest, humility, and competence. That is what Al-Mustapha represents,” Lawal declared.
He added that the movement’s strength lies in its grassroots—every state, every ward—and that no state will be left behind in the effort to build a united, issue-driven political force.
The Kogi State visit ended with renewed commitment from state executives and members, who pledged to deepen outreach and mobilization efforts across communities.
“The Nigeria we deserve is not a dream—it’s a decision,” Lawal told them. “Let this visit, born out of condolence, become a springboard for commitment. Let our pain lead us to purpose. Let our loss strengthen our unity.”
As the Network for Better Nigeria moves forward—grounded in compassion, driven by vision—it is clear that the seeds of 2027 are already being sown.
