The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adeoye Aribasoye, has charged political leaders to use their positions to defend the vulnerable, pursue justice, and uphold integrity in public service.
Aribasoye made the call on Sunday while delivering a lecture on Leadership in a Changing World at the Gospel Faith Mission International, GOFAMINT, Pentecost Arena, Ado Ekiti.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Babajide Agbeyo, the Speaker stressed that true leadership demands “competencies, integrity and compassionate captaincy within the framework of national service.”
He urged aspiring leaders to first examine themselves before seeking power.
“Before entering or remaining in government service, clarify your non-negotiables. Prayerfully and scripturally develop a robust habit that will assist you in making informed policy judgments. Build wise counsel networks and be transparent and accountable,” the Speaker advised.
Aribasoye, who also doubles as a pastor, called for selfless leadership, saying Christians in politics must set the pace by standing for truth, rejecting corruption, protecting religious liberty, and ensuring they serve people of all faiths without bias.
