A member of the Lagos State House of Assembly representing Eti-Osa 1 constituency, Hon. Kazeem Ademola Alimi has assured that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has the calibre of leaders to resolve the current impasse among its lawmakers at the National Assembly.
Alimi gave the assurance while answering questions from reporters at the 3rd Edition of the Feeding Fasting Faithful and Ramadan lecture he organised for Muslim faithful in his constituency at Eti-Osa.
The lecture titled, ‘The role of leadership in our modern day democracy’, was delivered by Dr AbdulLateef AbdulHakeem, the Chief Imam of Lagos State House of Assembly.
Alimi said the current crisis at the National Assembly is one of those things that happen in a democratic society.
“There is no way you will not find situations like that, but I know our party, APC, I believe by the time they come back on July 21 there would be peace and reconciliation and the country would move forward”.
The lawmaker said the lessons he expects the listeners to take home from the lecture is “for them to know the role of a leader in a society and at the end of the day the followers will also know their roles”.
Also reacting to the topic of the lecture, former representative of Apapa 1 constituency at the Lagos Assembly, Hon. Mufutau Egberongbe said leadership is all about followership, sacrifice, honesty, integrity and being masses oriented.
“You are a leader to the extent to which you are able to carry your followers along in whatever you are doing and that calls for integrity, sincerity of purpose on the part of such individual and this essentially is what is lacking in our body politics and in our polity as a people and as a nation”, Egberongbe said.
