Let’s Shun Politics Of Bitterness, Embrace Peace For Development – NCRIB Boss
Rotimi Edu, NCRIB President
Nigerians from all walks of life including members of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB) have been urged to shun politics of bitterness and embrace peace for growth and national development.
NCRIB members and other professionals alike have also been enjoined to take active participation in the forthcoming electoral process as the nation prepares to elect another set of leaders to pilot its affairs for another four years.
The President, NCRIB, Mr Rotimi Edu, made the call at the April edition of the NCRIB Members’ Evening sponsored by Universal Insurance PLC held in Lagos recently.
Edu also charged the media to live up to their responsibilities by being the true watch-dogs of society.
According to him, distinguished members, it is apposite to place on record that the political terrain would once again elect leaders who would determine the common destiny of our nation for another period of four years, either good or bad.
“I need not belabour you with details of my insinuation, but I am persuaded beyond reasonable doubt that you understand that when we stay aloof, we leave our common destiny to be decided by others. It is on this note I like to enjoin my colleagues and every other guest here to participate in the electoral process that determines those who will govern us in the coming dispensation.
“I passionately appeal to the media to go beyond surface reporting and highlight basic qualities and otherwise of all the candidates without prejudice. In doing so, you would be aiding the process of electing the right person for the right position, and subsequently, entrenching the process of good governance in Nigeria.
Let us all shun the politics of bitterness and embrace peace for the development of our nation. I am convinced that most nations of the world are not as blessed as Nigeria. We only got it wrong in our selection of leaders. I believe if we choose leaders with good ideology, Nigeria can once again bounce back in its economic activities.
