Stand on the Dictates of the Law to Succeed-Prof. Olagoke to President Tinubu

 

Attitudinal change is a major prerequisite for the present crop of political office holders to achieve sustainable development in Nigeria.

This assertion was made by the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shafaudeen-in-Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke in his Ed el Fitri Message titled Democracy and Hope 2023.

''The attitudinal change for those in power and the people in general can only be achieved under strategic re-orientation for re-birth and re-branding. For the government of President Bola Tinubu to succeed, it needs to stand on the dictates of the law for regulation and growth through the appropriate arms of the law-Judiciary, EFCC, ICPC, SERVICOM, ACTU,NDLEA, NAFDAC and other anti-graft agencies. Corrupt government officials in these agencies and those in the corridor of power must be sanctioned as appropriate. A stitch in time saves nine!'', Prof. Olagoke concluded.

Ceaseless Prayers

Image
 Let us pray ceaselessly for God to open the eyes of those who have political power and have become committed to unjust economic policies and deep social injustices.  Amos 8:4-14 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;  yea , and sell the refuse of the wheat? 7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as  by  the flood of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I wi...
