Serve Nigerians Not Yourselves-Cleric to Political Office Holders

The government at all levels has been reminded of its primary responsibilities to Nigerians as citizens continue to groan in these difficult times. This reminder was given by an Ibadan-based cleric, Pastor Opeyemi Ajayi ''Thoe elected into various positions at all levels should be reminded of the fact that they were elected to serve the people, to ensure the safety of lives and property, and to be accountable to the people whenever necessary. They should remember that are in their various offices to serve the people and not themselves. Nigerians are suffering,'' Pastor Ajayi stated. In the same vein, a former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC) Comrade Andrew Emelieze has described the actions and inactions of the present administration as a ploy to buy time for unknown reasons. ''Thses crop of political office holders have nothing to offer, they are only buying time for unknown reasons,'' Comrade Emelieze stated.
