Chief Kenny Martins’ Legacy Initiative International Advocacy Sheds Light on 2018 Activities

Published

on

Dr Kenny Martins led Legacy Initiative international Advocacy has become a force to be reckoned with in the political affairs of this country.  And withing a year of its launch has succeeded in charting the course of the political moves towards the 2019 election.
Thus, during the  organization’s end of the year event on Tuesday, December 18th,2018,  their grand patron, Chief Kenny Martins highlighted some of their activities in the last one year, an appointment by INEC as 2019 independent monitoring group and their proposed One Million Nigeria Prays programme coming up in January 2019.   Here are the highlights :
INTRODUCTION:
Legacy Initiative International Advocacy is a duly, incorporated, non-Governmental Agency based in Lagos, with offices in Abuja and across most of the State Capitals in the Country and the Diaspora.
Our principal focus is to bring the Leaders of the two principal faith groups in Nigeria, the Christians and the Muslims together through constant interactive sessions, inter-faith prayers, and co-ordinated positions on burning national issues.
We believe that if the leaders of these faith groups can find a common ground on National issues, it will be easier for them to communicate same to the adherents of their faith, who place a lot of trust on them. This will in turn reduce incidence of mutual suspicion and frequent needless bloodletting and wanton destruction of properties in many states of the Federation fuelled by religious differences and incitements from the religious fundamentalists.
We also envision a situation whereby the Religious Leaders can also intervene in a none partisan manner to educate their followers on the evils of monetization of elections across the Country, whereby wrong candidates who are unfit for public office are imposed on the people through vote buying and other corrupt devises. This will give rise to the emergence of credible leaders in elective offices.
To achieve this, we encourage the Religious Leaders to close ranks with each other and allow God to use them to identify the right candidates across Party lines, ethnic lines, gender, and age for as long as they are qualified to contest for the elective offices.
If such people are identified and supported in their locality by such leaders, the candidates can be easily elected without the need for them to sell houses or take Bank Loans to contest elections. If elected, they will become more responsive to the needs of their communities and will be conscious that if they failed to fulfil their election promises, the people will not choose them in subsequent elections. We believe that this solution can be effected from the highest office in the land to the very lowest.
We are also advocating for the right of our men and women living in the diaspora to have the right to vote during General Elections in Nigeria. The Direct Home Remittances (DHR) from the Nigerian diaspora constitutes the second largest source of foreign exchange inflow into our National Economy. It is therefore not right that we should deny our Nationals living abroad the right to vote during elections while many Countries of the world recognise the right of their citizens living abroad to vote during their own elections.
SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES:
We had held very extensive consultations since last year with the top hierarchy of the Christian faith as well as the Muslim faith. We met with the Heads of the
Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, the Methodist Church, the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, the Apostolic Church, the Apostolic faith and practically all the senior Church Leaders in the Pentecostal Churches. Please find below the list of some of the individuals we consulted with:

We were invited and participated very actively during the events organised by the Leadership of CAN Northern States in Jos and Abuja recently and our contributions were well received.
We have also held extensive consultations with the Muslim Leadership starting with his Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, the Etsu Nupe, the Emir of Kazaure, the Leadership of NASFAT, and numerous clerics.
PUBLIC EVENTS:
We made our first public appearance with a World Press Conference at the Lagos Sheraton, Ikeja on 1st August, 2018 and the event was a huge success.
On the 23rd of August, 2018, we held a well-attended Stakeholders meeting at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, chaired by Gen. Ike Nwachukwu. The Sultan of Sokoto, The Ooni of Ife, The Alaafin of Oyo, CAN Executives, Christian Elders Forum, Chief (Mrs) Opral Benson, and former Speaker, Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. Titi Oseni Gomez attended the function.
Subsequently, we held a meeting with the Leadership of CAN at Ilupeju Lagos on 1st October, 2018 during which both sides signed a Communiqué in pursuance of the above Objectives.

By the Grace of God, we shall hold a National day of Prayers in conjunction with the Christian Association of Nigeria at the International Christian Centre, Abuja on 10th January 2019 to seek God’s Intervention for peaceful conduct of the General Elections and for the progress of our Nation.
APPEAL FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE:
Our funding for all the foregoing activities have been self-generated from our members and our resources have grown very low such that many of our programmes are currently being scaled down due to lack of funding. It is against this background that we most humbly solicit for financial assistance from your Excellency to enable us to continue with these noble works that we believe will add value to the rapid development of our Country under a peaceful atmosphere….
Dr Kenny Martins
Grand Patron
