Adeyemi Calls Leaders To Get Nigeria to Work
The Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre (DCC), renowned writer and motivational speaker, Pastor Sam Adeyemi has called on the older generation to work for the betterment of the country, saying the youths will demand accountability from them.
He stated this on Tuesday during his appearance on Channels Television’s breakfast show Sunrise Daily. The leadership coach called on leaders from all sectors to join hands in making the country better in the face of issues affecting it.
“The elite class – those of us who belong to this class – need to begin to discuss among ourselves and honestly, we need to act with urgency and I need to plead with those of us in the elite class and I am talking about everyone who has been able to walk their way to the top and fairly comfortable and I am talking about people of the highest level in the political class at the National Assembly, the governors, state house assembly and so on. I am talking of those of us in the business sector and those who are heads of religious institutions.”
“It will be in our self-interest to get Nigeria to work now because the younger generation is more enlightened and have access to more information and they are not going to keep silent for long. It will get rougher and rougher to lead because they will demand accountability and good leadership.”
Speaking further, Pastor Sam said there is a need to evaluate the moral values of the nation. He said every nation grows on certain values which are inculcated in citizens. This, he noted is needed to restore Nigeria.
He expressed regret about Nigeria’s high rate of dropouts and said the current state of affairs is unsatisfactory. He claims that millions of children live on the streets, making many of them simple pickings for criminal organizations.
