Dear Moddibo Ishaq Kawu,
On achieving the greatest feat, arrogance is never a kit for wayfarers, for the journey ahead is one that requires impeccable individuality such as understanding basics of differentiation.
While it is generally agreed that there is a need to separate wheat from chaff, which imposes the significance of sorting valuables from inconsequential, so is it important to understand that while lashing grievances, there is a need for proper scrutiny of subject matter.
Ancestral chart should remain as sacred as they ought to be, away from the murky waters of earning political points. In lieu of that, Late Dr. Olusola Saraki should never be a subject of mouth shaming as you have done in your August 6 Premium Times interview reportage.
In understanding better, Prophet Nuh whose ark was instrumental in saving the world as at when the punishment of Allah was to be meted on his generation lost his erring child to the flood, for this reason, do we then mouth shame Prophet Nuh ?
In understanding the late Olusola Saraki phenomenon in Nigerian politics, a professor of political science in person of Prof. Hassan A. Salihu numerates strategies deployed by him in communicating with his teeming supporters amongst this, he notes that late Dr. Olusola Saraki was generous to a fault and as an advocate for being one’s brother’s keeper, he exhibited this trait till death by walking the talk.
How hypocritical of you to condemn this legend when in reality you are a living benefit of his altruistic act by association with his offspring.
Character assassination is no good way to begin a quest. If you must come to equity, do so with clean hands and the integrity you lay claim to possess. I am certain the following words will sure ring a bell ‘The wisdom here is that for xyz, what is constant is not idealism, principle, honour or patriotic exertions; far from it. What is constant is the achievement of a personal ambition.’
Crowd renting is fast becoming a blooming business venture in the capital city of Ilorin and this venture you have dabbled into so as to evince your popularity as you have declared your interest in joinning the 2019 governorship race, is this then the princple, idealism and honor you preach ? to walk on eggs requires such divine manifestation as demonstrated by Jesus Christ when he walked on water hence there is a need not to throw stones when you are guilty of a change of name as you have wrongly accused Dr Abubakar Olusola Saraki. The face of fake tales is doing well to repute the report of your house purchase in Ilorin, this time, I do hope your integrity wouldn’t disclaim your name ‘Lanre’.
As you make known your entry into the governorship race, silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give to you. A long race it is and as your glamorous visitations and consultation begins, bear at heart that an occupant of a glasshouse need not throw stones.
For the race ahead, declaration of interest is on one side of the road while actualization stands at the other end, moving away from your present position requires first winning the party ticket on whatever platform you will be vying from and this process will be long and tedious.
No one has made it thus far by looking down on the elders, those who respect the elderly pave their own road toward success. For the journey ahead arrogance should never be an option.
