lawmaker in the Osun State House of Assembly, Honourable Olatunbosun
Oyintiloye has described the emergence of seven British-born Nigerians, who
were elected to the
parliament as inspiration for pursuits of excellence in
Africa.
Oyintiloye pointed out that the emergence of the seven into political
limelight in the United Kingdom is a wake-up call for parents, guardian and
caregivers to give attention to child upbringing.
The lawmaker representing Obokun State Constituency told journalists in
Osogbo, the state capital, that the success recorded by these UK-based citizens
of Nigeria inspires hope and lends credence to the imperative of development of
potentials of young ones.
He stressed the need for people, especially youths to commit themselves
to community service, be their best in their field of human endeavours and
strive to add value to humanity.
“Politics is a vehicle for the promotion of human dignity, pursuit of
happiness, social justice and prosperity, these Nigerians have made us proud,”
Oyintiloye said.
He called on Nigerians to rise above primordial sentiments, stressing
that putting round pegs in round holes aids development.
“It’s only the deep that calls to the deep, individuals who possess
talents and guts, who have capacity to deliver, I mean selfless individuals
should be encouraged at all times,” he said.
“We are excited because they share Nigerian identity, we must get it
right that discovery, nurturing and development of potentials is the right way
to go.”
