An advocacy group, the Connect Nigeria First Movement (CNFM), has issued a 100-day ultimatum to political office holders across Nigeria to compile and publish records of their achievements since assuming office. The demand targets governors, senators, members of the House of Representatives, state assembly lawmakers, and local government chairmen.
In a statement signed by its President, Henry Nwabueze, the group emphasized that public accountability is central to rebuilding trust between Nigerians and their leaders. It argued that elected officials must be able to present verifiable evidence of their stewardship, especially in light of widespread concerns about poor service delivery and uncompleted projects.
The CNFM disclosed that after the 100-day window, it would embark on a nationwide investigative tour in partnership with FOS News Africa. The tour, it said, would cover all 774 local government headquarters, 360 federal constituencies, and 109 senatorial districts across the 36 states of the federation.
According to the group, the mission of the tour is threefold: first, to verify the number of development projects executed by local government councils and constituency representatives; second, to assess the operational efficiency of legislative and council offices, including staff attendance and working conditions; and third, to engage citizens directly on the impact of government programmes in their communities.
“Our state directors, LGAs directors, wards directors, senatorial zones directors and federal constituencies directors will be deployed to carry out these assessments,” Nwabueze said. “This initiative will ensure transparency in governance and enable Nigerians to see, in real time, how their resources are being utilized.”
The group further announced that the tour will receive full media coverage through FOS News Channel, which will broadcast interviews, findings, and interactions on social media platforms. This, CNFM noted, is aimed at giving citizens unfiltered access to information about the performance of their representatives.
Beyond monitoring, the movement says it hopes the exercise will push leaders to prioritize development projects, improve accountability, and reduce corruption at all levels of government. Nwabueze stressed that transparency is not just a demand but a necessity for national growth, adding that Nigerians deserve to see tangible results from their elected officials.
The CNFM concluded its statement with a call for collective action, urging citizens to follow the movement’s activities online and contribute to the accountability drive. “We believe that by working together, Nigeria can rise again,” the group said, insisting that the time has come for leaders to prove their commitment to service with evidence, not promises.
