It
is with a sense of humility, responsibility and the Joy of the season
that I wish all the OKUN at home and abroad a blissful celebration.
It
is also inclusive to recount at this auspicious hour that, the season
is a representation of sacrifice and selflessness of the Savior Jesus
Christ.
I enjoin the
entire citizens of OKUNLAND and KOGI STATE home and abroad to see a need
to borrow a leaf from the examplinary life of the Savior and to also
pray for our Land and her Leaders in various positions.
*
In our political firmament, let Christlike virtues hold away. Virtues
that bring a human face to politics. Virtues that ensures a meticulous
adherence to undeviating honesty, sincerity, humanity, courtesy,
equitable distribution of wealth, selflessness, contentment, sacrifice,
self-denial, human solidarity inter alia in our quotidian political
dealings.
* In the social
milieu, social status rivalry should not be prioritized as it is the
case today in our society. Pedigree and class shouldn't be placed above
the primordial position of humility. Social equilibrium is key as Christ
did not place himself above the people. Social class struggle is
antithetical to Christ's teaching. Hence, let's embrace Christ's
unassuming social status.
*
In our economic sphere, individualism should be repudiated because
Christ taught collectivism, selflessness. Hence public spiritedness
should characterize our economic affairs. On the whole, If Christlike
virtues are brought in to bear in our economic dealings, human welfare
and solidarity will supplant rapid quest for profit which has become the
economic watchword. Hence, throwing humanity to the wind status.
It
is also needful to call the consciousness and attention of the Kogi
State Government and her leadership to see a need to ensure it fulfills
the yearnings of the people by *paying salaries to the workers and
pensioners, *make possible best to return the students back to their
school KSU, KSP etc.
I'am
are not in any way oblivious of the current economic realities in the
country. Hence it is noteworthy to please beg the governor to please put
smiles on the faces of its workers and end all the strikes happening
within the state.
Needless
to say, is that the patriotic tendencies of this government can never
earn the people's support. As any government without the good will of
the people is an illusion of itself.
I
equally at this point call on the federal government to take a front
roll call, to ensure the speedily development of the Nigeria economy.
We employ all from the nooks and crannies of the country to remain
selfless steadfast.
As
today marks the beginning of immortal justification and forgiveness,
hence we call on the entire OKUN citizen all round the world to embrace
peace, love, unity for the development of our land.
At
this Juncture, it is important to express my satisfaction on the recent
developments of the EFCC, in its quest to exposing illicit acts.
However, we demand more than a media probing and politicization. While
we commend their efforts, we challenge them through its leadership not
to leave any stone unturned, irrespective of the status of anyone found
wanting especially in Kogi State.
Gratefully, i use this medium to thank MR. President for the recent appointment of
1. Barr. Prince Babatunde Irukera
2. Mrs. Folashade Joseph
3. Mr. Sunday Thomas, wishing the entire OKUN Nation and Kogi State congratulation.
I
commend the unflinching supports of the true sons and daughters of Okun
land for their significant role. I appreciate our elders and royal
fathers, students(NAOS) and youths union, organizations, groups and all
the leader for their love and commitment and to keep praying that
Almighty God will Bless our Land. Amen.
Conclusive,
I wish all Christians Happy Easter celebration. May this Season, bring
good tidings to OkunLand, Kogi State and Nigeria. (AMEN).
My name is COMRADE Ajagun Opeyemi Samuel( Okun boy) A Concerned Okun Youth (08139299118).
