AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR DEAR LEADERS: LET THE POOR BREATHE, MAKE THE POOR SMILE



ItunumiObasa


Nigeria, my beloved country, truly great art thou! Blessed are you among nations, and being a Nigerian is a privilege I hold dear. Our land is abundant, our culture rich, and our people resilient. Yet, the paradox of poverty amidst plenty bewilders us.


Our leaders have shown efforts, for perfection is unattainable, but the pursuit of excellence is paramount. Let's celebrate their unique leadership skills, while also reminding them that true leaders listen to the voices of the masses. Dismissing their concerns due to their circumstances would be a disservice.


Nigeria's leaders, heed the cries of the impoverished. True leadership involves consideration of their needs, recognizing that their voices hold wisdom. Failing to consider their perspectives leads to their exploitation.


To our country's leaders and officials, integrating the viewpoints of the poor in policy-making can create positive change. Remember, they too have dreams and aspirations, and it's your moral duty to provide them with opportunities and care.


Leadership transcends politics; it's about ensuring every citizen has a fair shot at life. Addressing poverty is an investment in national progress.


Some policies, though well-intentioned, might inadvertently deepen poverty. The impoverished see this, but their pleas often fall on deaf ears due to selfish interests. Let's have empathy for them and carefully assess policies to ensure everyone benefits.


Dear leaders, we respect and believe in you. Your dreams are ours, and we implore you to have compassion for the less fortunate. Policies entrusted to heartless hands should be critically examined before implementation.


In conclusion, let's create an inclusive society by amplifying the voices of the poor. Together, we can build a brighter future for all, step by step. Part 2 of my views will express gratitude once the necessary actions are taken.


With hope and sincerity,

Itunumi Obasa
