The Abuja Chapter of De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI) on Saturday, February 14, 2026, hosted its 2026 Welcome Back Party with a strong message of unity, service to humanity, and commitment to democratic values.
Addressing distinguished members, elders, invited guests, and families at the event, the Chapter Chairman, Comrade Solomon Momoh, described the gathering as more than a social celebration, but a symbolic moment of renewal and collective responsibility.
With the theme, “The Dawn of a New Saga,” Momoh said the event marked not just the beginning of a new calendar year, but the commencement of a fresh chapter in the chapter’s journey of brotherhood and humanitarian service.
“As the tides of time usher us into the year 2026, we gather not merely to mark another year, but to ignite a fresh chapter in our collective journey,” he stated. “Today represents renewal, resilience, and the rebirth of our shared commitment to unity and service.”
He emphasized that the Welcome Back Party was a celebration of the core values that bind the organization together — brotherhood, legacy, loyalty, and love — noting that the DNKI Abuja Chapter has remained a symbol of solidarity and humanitarian outreach despite prevailing challenges.
Momoh commended members and their families for their unwavering support, stressing that their presence and dedication give meaning to the chapter’s existence.
Highlighting the socio-economic challenges facing many Nigerians, the chairman urged members to redouble their humanitarian efforts in 2026.
“Service to humanity remains our watchword, and compassion must remain our guiding light,” he said. “Government alone cannot shoulder the entire burden of development. With the continued support and commitment of organizations like DNKI, the load can be significantly reduced, and hope strengthened at the grassroots level.”
Momoh also stated that the chapter’s humanitarian initiatives would align with national development goals, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, adding that civil society organizations have a vital role to play in complementing government policies aimed at improving the lives of citizens.
On matters of national importance, the DNKI chairman addressed the ongoing debate surrounding the Electoral Amendment Bill. He appealed to lawmakers to carefully review clauses that may undermine the collective will of voters or create room for manipulation of election results.
“Nigeria’s democracy thrives on the confidence of its people,” he noted. “Democracy, by definition, is a system where power resides with the people and is expressed through their votes. The elected cannot and must not be greater than the will of the electorate.”
He warned that any action suggesting that votes may not count could erode public trust in the electoral process, especially as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.
Momoh, however, commended the House of Representatives for passing provisions in the Electoral Amendment Bill that promote and mandate real-time electronic transmission of election results, describing the measure as a significant step toward enhancing transparency, accountability, and public confidence in Nigeria’s democratic system.
“As we celebrate, let us remember that the dawn of a new saga demands renewed responsibility,” he concluded. “Together, let us build a stronger chapter, a stronger community, and a stronger nation.”
The event ended on a celebratory note, with members raising a toast to unity, resilience, and a future defined by hope and service to humanity.
