A television programme— True Nigerians (Heroes of our Time)— which celebrates Nigerians who embody true patriotism and exemplary qualities, has now taken its message live with the maiden edition of The True Nigerian Party.
Hosted by veteran singer, Zaaki Azzay, the event took place at the Lafia City Hall in Nasarawa State, blending cultural pride with a strong message of hope and unity for the Nigerian youth.
Asked about the motivation behind The True Nigerian Party, the torchlight-wielding singer said, “Understanding that Nigeria’s population is predominantly youth-driven, we decided to launch the True Nigerian Party to celebrate Nigeria, encourage patriotism, and counter the ‘japa’ trend.
“The support from the Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, was instrumental in bringing the event to life. When we discussed hosting this event, the governor invited us to Nasarawa, offering security, the venue, and other forms of support. As a visionary leader, he saw the importance of hosting the event in Lafia (the state capital), providing the youth in his state with a platform for networking and education on the dangers of crime and drugs. His support truly enabled this impactful event, as he attended in person along with his deputy.”
Artistes that performed at the event include Ruggedman, Magnito and Zaaki himself.
