Anthony Ada Abraham, a veteran journalist and public commentator, has issued a reminder to the country’s political figures as Nigeria prepares for its 64th Independence Anniversary.
Abraham in his address, urged politicians to reflect on their legacy and the impact of corruption.
He stated that “No matter how much you steal and amass for your generation, you will one day die and be buried without them.”
His statement comes at a time when the country is battling with diverse public dissatisfaction over the government, rising poverty levels, and accusations of mismanagement of public funds.
Abraham emphasized that the increased pursuit of wealth at the expense of national development will lead to a legacy of shame rather than honor.
“This is a time for sober reflection. As we celebrate Nigeria’s 64th year of independence, our leaders should be asking themselves: What legacy am I leaving behind? It is not the accumulation of material riches but the impact you have on your people that will define your true worth,” Abraham said.
The veteran journalist then called on Nigerians to hold their leaders accountable and advocate for transparency, justice, and service to the people.
As the nation deliberate on its journey so far, his words serves as a powerful reminder that the future of Nigeria lies in the hands of its leaders and history will judge them for their actions today.
