Love is the greatest, togetherness and support for ones brother. As I mark another birthday today, my wish is to see a country that is moving, a nation that is consolidating and not deconsolidating. I pray and hope to see a better CRS where hard work and labour will be rewarded. I long for a State where our People will smile and not mourn. I wish for a State where our institutions and agencies of government will work for the greater good of our people.
As I add another year today, it is my prayer that our hapless and poor people in the State will be catered for. The CRS of my dream, is a State where food will not be a luxury . Education, Health Care, employment, clean environment, water, good road network will be provided.
I pray for the leadership of our State, Local governments and constituencies, I plead with a humble heart that our leaders will live up to their promises of delivering the true dividends of democracy to our electorate.
Just like Martin Luther King Jr., said "The biggest job in getting any movement off the ground is to keep together the people who form it. This task requires more than a common aim: it demands a philosophy that wins and holds people's allegiance ; and it depends upon open channels of communication between the people and their leaders".
My wish is to see a prosperous and blessed State. Where my children and your children can be proud of.
We must work together, we must support government at all times. We must shun non-challant attitude to things that concerns us as a people.
Martin Luther King Jr; said " In a multi-racial society, no group can make it alone".
And so, we need each other to succeed. We must work as brothers and sisters in order to liberate our local people who do not have a voice. We are their voices. We are their mouth piece. They need us to change things around for the better. For the good of all and sundry.
We must lead by example, we must show sincerity and show love for our people.
Martin Luther King Jr; said " I neither started the protest nor suggested it. I simply responded to the call of the people for a spokeman".
My people, today is my birthday, today is a special day to me as a young man. I plead that we put our people first. I plead that we work towards emancipating our people from poverty, hunger, stagnation and mental slavery.
Please let's show love to one another . we need each other to grow.
Happy birthday to me!
