In the eloquent words of Chief Dr. Patrick Osagie Eholor, widely recognized as the Ultimate Equal and President of One Love Foundation, the clarion call for change echoes across Nigeria. As the Voice of the Voiceless and a Senior Advocate of the Masses, Eholor passionately advocates for a Nigeria that transcends its title as the "Giant of Africa" only in words.
Drawing inspiration from Liberia and its dynamic leader, President George Weah, who on Friday 17 November, 2023 conceded election defeat to opposition leader Joseph Boakai, Eholor a Nigeria where emulation can pave the way for true progress. However, he confronts the stark reality that Nigeria, though rich in potential, is shackled by corruption, poverty, and a burgeoning population that rivals the most populous countries in the world.
Eholor lays bare the systemic issues plaguing the nation, pointing a finger at the multitude of corrupt politicians in power. His words resonate as a powerful indictment of the gap between Nigeria's potential and its current state, urging citizens to rise above the rhetoric and demand tangible action.
Central to his message is a plea for autonomy in critical institutions. Eholor argues that citizens should prioritize fighting for the autonomy of institutions such as the Judiciary, which should be free from government influence in selecting its chief judge. Similarly, he contends that the EFCC and INEC should operate independently, free from government interference, to ensure effectiveness and neutrality.
In a stark warning, Eholor invokes the age-old wisdom, "if you bite the hands that feed you, you may never eat from there." This serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of internal strife and the dangers of citizens being manipulated as political pawns.
Ultimately, Chief Dr. Patrick Osagie Eholor calls on every Nigerian to defend and protect the country. He emphasizes that the labor of past heroes should not be in vain, urging citizens to unite for the greater good. In the face of challenges, he stands as a beacon of hope, imploring Nigerians to be the architects of their nation's destiny and fulfill the promise of a better, more prosperous future.
