We, the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, drawn from many tribes, tongues, cultures, creeds, and persuasions, and brought together by divine providence into one nation, firmly believe that all human beings are born equal and possess inalienable rights. Having learned through years of tragic error, we are resolved to live together in peace and unity, guided by a shared vision of prosperity and greatness.

We hold that the democratic principles of equality before the law, the free choice of our leaders, and the pursuit of justice and equity shall be our guiding vision. We affirm that every citizen deserves the protection of government and of one another, and the dignity to pursue the fulfillment of their God-given potential. We shall conduct ourselves according to the law and pledge true allegiance to The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In this spirit, we commit ourselves to a nation built on fairness, responsibility, and the collective good of all Nigerians.
