Cyril Ogar
A group, Goodluckans Diaspora (GD), with members across the globe including North America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, has said Nigerians deserve a better direction and a leadership that will bring people out of hardship and into a future of opportunity, stability and progress.
Addressing the media on Thursday in Abuja, the group’s global coordinator, Queen Moses Idris, described the group as a vehicle for an official movement for national renewal ahead of 2027 general election and to respectfully engage Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and urged him to consider contesting the 2027 presidential Election in Nigeria.
According to her, the initiative is driven by a shared belief in the need for leadership that restores peace, unites people across faiths and guides the nation out of hardship into hope.
He said, “Goodluckans Diaspora is a global network of Nigerians committed to advocating for national development, unity and democratic progress through civic engagement and collective action. The delegation is being organized as a constructive and respectful engagement centered on dialogue, national interest and collective progress. The Goodluckans Diaspora reaffirm that this delegation will be peaceful, respectful, lawful and well coordinated. Participants are encouraged to uphold the highest standards of conduct and represent the movement with dignity.
“It reflects a vision of a Nigeria where Christians and Muslims stand together in unity, where light overcomes darkness and where national identity rises above division. This vision is symbolically captured in the movement’s message of light and renewal, a reflection of leadership that inspires progress, stability and inclusion for all Nigerians.”
She added, “This is not a protest. This is a call for leadership. Nigerians across the world are ready to support a vision that restores hope, strengthens unity and moves the nation forward. Nigerians will welcome a leadership that restores national confidence, promotes unity across all regions and faiths, strengthens democratic institutions and most importantly supports economic growth and stability.
“That is why we are calling on former President Goodluck Jonathan to reflect on this moment in our nation’s history and consider stepping forward to lead once again by contesting in the 2027 presidential election. We count on his experience, commitment to democratic values and history of leadership as key reasons behind this appeal.”

He emphasised that humanitarian service should be a continuous responsibility driven by compassion, solidarity and a commitment to making a meaningful difference in society.
According to him, DNKI’s humanitarian activities reflect its dedication to giving back to society and supporting people in need, while encouraging members to sustain initiatives that promote human dignity and community well-being.
He added that the organisation would continue to strengthen its humanitarian engagements through practical interventions aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable people and promoting community development.
Speaking at the event, the representative of the Abuja Chapter Chairman and Chairman of its Advisory Council, Prince Efiong Okpe, said the organisation’s humanitarian activities extended beyond the annual celebration of Humanitarian Day on October 15.
Okpe explained that DNKI undertook several initiatives throughout the year, including blood donation exercises, visits to hospitals and correctional centres, as well as support for orphanages and other vulnerable groups.
According to him, the organisation also collaborated with humanitarian bodies in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to identify areas of need and provide assistance within its available resources.
He described Humanitarian Day as an opportunity for members to renew their commitment to service and demonstrate solidarity with people facing difficult circumstances.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Planning Committee and Coordinator of the DNKI Gwagwalada Zone, Mr Etudaiye Hamzat, disclosed that the chapter had provided financial assistance to some members to help pay their children’s school fees, alongside distributing bags of rice and other relief items to members experiencing hardship.
Hamzat explained that the interventions followed concerns over the difficulties some members faced in meeting their family responsibilities, particularly the rising cost of their children’s education.
He maintained that supporting members in need was consistent with the organisation’s humanitarian principles, adding that DNKI remained committed to extending assistance to non-members and vulnerable communities as part of its commitment to leading by example.
Looking ahead, Hamzat said the Abuja Chapter planned to expand its humanitarian outreach to remote communities within the FCT, with particular attention to orphanages, schools and widows facing difficulties in meeting their family responsibilities.
