A humanitarian organisation, the Ancient Rosicrucian Order(AMORC), says the country needs leadership reformation, just like the followers need a new way of thinking that will lead to a better polity.
President of the National Board, Grand Administrator, Director, Supreme Lodge,Dr. Kenneth Idiodi made the declaration during the 44th Eastern Regional Rotational Conclave in Port Harcourt.
Idiodi regretted that politics and religion, and ethnicity had compelled the leaders to lose track of the founding principles of the country.
In his view, the current security and ethnicity violence stems from failure of citizens to tolerate one another.
He reasoned that Nigeria is a potentially great country that needs visionary leadership to harness its enormous human, natural and spiritual resources.
Idiodi regretted that the dwindling infrastructure was as a result of poor maintenance culture.” Where we are now is due to poor maintenance culture, from ECN, to NEPA, to PHCN, our power provision has gone dismal.”
For the citizenry, he opined that the leaders need to exemplify responsibility to the laws of the state and those that govern nature.
“There must be duty to ourselves, to others and to nature. This must be coloured with our feelings,thoughts and deeds”, the AMORC president said.
He noted that AMORC as a humanitarian organisation is poised to chart a new course of direction such that there will be harmony, peace and unity amongst the populace despite their religious inclinations.
Meanwhile, AMORC has unveiled a new Declaration of Human Duties, whose principles stem from the Universal, Declaration of Human rights by the United Nations.
