IJEBU-ODE – Senators Olugbenga Obadara and Adegbenga Kaka, representing Ogun Central and Ogun East districts, respectively, have urged politicians to uphold the tenets of their service to ensure peace and development.
The senators made the call on Tuesday while speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ijebu-Ode.
According to Kaka, equity, justice and purposeful service remained the bedrock for the consolidation of democratic structures and ideals.
“As politicians, we must always plan to fulfil our promises to the electorate because promise is a debt.
“Leaders must strive to be truthful to their followers at all times remembering that without them there will be no position in the first instance,’’ Kaka said.

Kaka said he hoped the 2015 general elections would see the best candidates emerge so that the people continually enjoy the good things of life.
Also, Obadara said that what the country deserved was unity saying a united nation had a better chance for progress and development.
“When we stand united there will be progress and development. We must all strive toward peace and purposeful service to our nation.
“A true leader must be ready to accommodate everybody, irrespective of social differences.
“He must have the spirit of a team player and not that of pride or arrogance,” Obadara said. (NAN) [eap_ad_3]
