JOIN
AND BUILD SPN:
IT IS THE PARTY OF THE OPPRESSED AND WORKING MASSES!
MY
COUNTRY PEOPLE!!
Are you angry with the
condition of things in Nigeria? Are you annoyed with the corruption of the
looters we call our leaders? Are you angry that more than 28 million youths of
our country have no jobs? What about the issue of electricity, does it vex you?
Do you feel angry that in this country, those who work suffer while some who
because they are highly placed and privileged and do not work get rich?
What about the fact
that over 70% of Nigerians are poor, does it vex you? Do you feel things are
not going on well in this country? Do you want change? A radical change that
will bring to power a poor people government that can ensure that Nigeria's
huge human and natural resources is used to benefit all of us.
The Socialist Party of
Nigeria (SPN) is a new political party. If you are a worker, market man or
woman, okada rider, bus driver and conductor, student/youth, trader, fisherman,
artisan etc., in short if you are a poor Nigerian, the SPN is your party. It is
a party that will represent your interest. It is a party that will join you to
fight against oppression. This is your party. Other political parties represent
only the interests of the rich but the SPN is the only political party that
stands for the interest of poor Nigerians.
Join SPN today so that
together we can fight to bring change to our dear country. Change can only come
when all poor men and women, workers, students, traders, fishermen in Nigeria
come out to say No to Oppression and Yes to Socialism!
