As Nigeria mark another democracy day, Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), has called on Nigerians to remain hopeful in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’.
“To all those saddled with the responsibility of ensuring a renewed hope, every Nigerian deserves a better life as the time to give the Nigerian worker his due is now. Though we are yet to overcome the primordial attachment to ‘loyalty’ over and above capacity, we are indeed confronted with the malaise of nepotism and of course mediocrity.
The President General of the forum Alhaji Yerima Shettima, in a statement on Wednesday said, “To all those saddled with the responsibility of ensuring a renewed hope, every Nigerian deserves a better life as the time to give the Nigerian worker his due is now. Though we are yet to overcome the primordial attachment to ‘loyalty’ over and above capacity, we are indeed confronted with the malaise of nepotism and of course mediocrity”.
“After series of his consultations, our perceived unity is very superficial and skin deep only to sustain the bureaucracy of exploitation of the Nigerian populace”.
“Compatriots, the opportunity beckons as in the immortal words of Williams
Shakespeare,’ there is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat and we must take the current when it serves or lose our venture’.
“However, the project ‘NIGERIA’, is one I am convinced shall be successful
given our collective resolve for a better nation, for with peace and plenty
NIGERIA shall indeed be blessed” he reiterated
Shettima while congratulating Nigerians on democracy day urged us to reflect on gains of the democratic processes towards sustaining and making it better.
