FORMER
governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Kalu has extolled children as part of
activities marking the 2016 Children’s Day celebrations. Kalu pointed out that
children remain Nigeria’s hope just as he slammed elders for the permissive rot
in the society.
Dr. Kalu
regretted that “elders of today were not showing good examples for our children
and wards to emulate. All that our young ones get innundated with are stories
of mind-boggling corruption, insurgency, terrorism, banditry, pipeline
vandalism, collapse of social infrastructure and desecretion of sacred places
of worship. There is no good news from elderly members of this generation,” Dr.
Kalu said.
According to
the former governor, “We (the elders) must turn a new leaf so that children of
today can have something laudable to look forward to as they prepare to lead
this country very soon. There is no doubt that shortly from now a new set of
leaders comprising the current youth will emerge to take over the
administration of this country.”
In a
statement issued by his media adviser, Mr. Ebere Wabara, in commemoration of
the 2016 Children’s Day, Dr. Kalu implored mature Nigerians to leave legacies
ahead of inevitable retirement from active life.
