OKEHI LG CHAIRMAN SERVED LETTER TO ACCOUNT FOR HIS DOING Our resolved to make finding on some of our societal issues have been greeted with mix feeling. It should be known to all that I Shaibu Stephen Ojate and other progressive Youths of ebiraland who believes in the course to challenge our leaders to account for their doing are not their enemy nor have personal hatred for them. The underlining thing is progress which we have been canvassing for. Let me categorically say that if I happen to have my father in leadership position tomorrow and fail to measure upto expectation, the same step we are advancing to others will equally be applied to him. If we truly desire good leadership, good governance and better living condition of our people, we can never have better time other than now. We don’t need to procrastinate over how to find solution to our societal problems, so time to put our life in the right track is now. The call to ask our leaders to account for their doing is for the progress of our society and not for any other things. We want to make it known to our leaders that it is no more business as usual. We want them to belt-up and improve in their activities towards creating better future for all of us. We are doing this because the present Youths are not dump, the present Youths are not illiterate, and the present Youths are not ignorant on the deeds of our leadership. Leadership is a privilege and as many that are opportune to lead us should see it as service to the people and not means to lord it over the masses. If you have anyone as bother in leadership position, strive to advise such person to do good for the society. One should not attach sentiment to our action when PROGRESSIVE YOUTHS OF EBIRALAND begin to demand accountability from our leaders. Progressive people of ebiraland, I am full of joy today. I am happy to inform the general public that Okehi Local Government Chairman has been served letter through Okehi LGA official email as I earlier promised.
