Lawmaker Tasks Political Office Holders On Selflessness

A Lagos lawmaker, Mr. Segun Olulade (Lagos APC), has advised political office holders in Nigeria to strive to render selfless service to their constituents, bearing in mind that they will leave office one day.
Olulade, representing Epe Constituency II at the Lagos State House of Assembly, gave the advice at a valedictory Dinner/Media Meet with the journalists, operating under the aegis of Lagos State House of Assembly Correspondents Association (LAHACA) in Ikeja.
“Politicians should have it at the back of their mind that they will leave office one day. They should not lose focus but serve the people. We shall all be remembered by what we have done or failed to do while in office. We must be conscious and be mindful of the people by being selfless and we shall remain relevant in people’s mind by so doing.
“Whatever we do with position, whether good or bad, will come back to us,” he said.
Olulade, a former Chairman, House Committee on Healthcare Services, that although former Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State was no longer in office, he was still relevant because he invested in people. Title would not take you far, what will take you far is your contribution and service to the people. To be in government is not just about being called a lawmaker, Governor or President, one day, you will leave office.
“If you want to amass wealth and you don’t want to help people, what will you do with the money?” he rhetorised.
Olulade, popularly called Eleniyan, assured the journalists that he would endeavour to sustain his legacies, saying, “Everything you say about me I will keep it up. I have learnt from you. I want to thank everyone of you and I want to assure you that I will not change.
