TCWNNI Calls for Integrity and Accountability in Nigeria

The Change We Need Nigeria Initiative (TCWNNI) held its 2026 National Dialogue in Abuja, where it called on Nigerians to reject corruption, dishonesty, and vote-buying. The dialogue emphasized that national transformation requires citizens to uphold accountability and integrity beyond elections.

Cosmos Ilechukwu, the convener and Deputy President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), stated that national development relies not only on political leaders but also on the ethical conduct of citizens in various sectors. He warned against exchanging votes for food or financial inducements and stressed the need for moral, cultural, and spiritual renewal.

Gabriel Baba, the National Director of TCWNNI, highlighted that citizenship involves more than just voting, urging Nigerians to demand accountable leadership and engage in civic responsibilities. Both speakers advocated for cooperation among government, civil society, faith communities, and citizens to promote accountability and national development, emphasizing that Nigeria's progress depends on citizens demonstrating integrity and commitment to service.
