Hajia Safia Mohammed, the Deputy National Women Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), delivered a powerful message of empowerment and political engagement to young people, particularly women, during the launch of the TESCON Ladies Club and Leadership Seminar at Valley View University. Her address, centered around the theme “Unite, Uplift, Lead: Rekindle the TESCON Spirit for Impact and Inclusion,” resonated with the audience of students and party faithful, emphasizing the vital role of women in leadership and the importance of unity within the NPP for future electoral success.
Hajia Safia’s speech highlighted the significance of the TESCON Ladies Club as a platform for nurturing the next generation of female leaders. She challenged the notion that leadership is a male-exclusive domain, emphasizing the historical contributions of women in shaping societies and driving positive change. The establishment of the club, she argued, is a clear affirmation of the NPP’s commitment to inclusivity and the recognition of women’s potential to lead. She underscored the importance of the club as a space for young women to hone their leadership skills, network, and support one another in navigating the political landscape.
The theme of the event, “Unite, Uplift, Lead,” served as a framework for Hajia Safia’s message. She emphasized the crucial role of unity within the NPP as the bedrock of strength and a prerequisite for victory in the 2028 elections. Internal cohesion, she argued, is essential for projecting a strong and unified front to the electorate. Furthermore, she defined “uplift” as a call to service, encouraging the young leaders to prioritize the needs of others and to use their positions to empower and inspire. “Lead,” she explained, signifies embracing responsibility with courage, vision, and integrity – qualities she believes TESCON has consistently cultivated in its members.
Addressing the young women directly, Hajia Safia dispelled the myth that politics is too harsh or leadership too demanding for them. She urged them to recognize their inherent value and the importance of their voices, contributions, and active participation in shaping the political discourse. The TESCON platform, she emphasized, offers a unique opportunity for learning, mentorship, and growth, enabling them to rise to positions of influence and make a tangible impact. She encouraged them to embrace this opportunity with confidence and determination.
Hajia Safia commended the Valley View University TESCON chapter for their efforts in revitalizing student activism and fostering a culture of leadership. She praised their proactive approach to preparing for the future, emphasizing that those who invest in their development today will be best positioned to shape tomorrow. Her words of encouragement served as a powerful motivator, reminding the students of the importance of their present endeavors in shaping their future roles as leaders and change-makers.
Finally, in a resounding call to action, Hajia Safia officially launched the TESCON Ladies Club. She charged the members to transform the club into a beacon of unity, empowerment, and transformative leadership. Her vision for the club is one of a vibrant and dynamic force within the NPP, driving positive change and championing the cause of women’s representation in politics. This concluding call to action encapsulated the essence of her message, inspiring the young women to embrace their roles as future leaders and to work together to build a more inclusive and equitable political landscape.
