In her message to mark this year’s Children’s Day celebration, the acting National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Senator Nenadi Usman, on Tuesday called for collective efforts towards building a society where honesty is encouraged and upheld as a national standard.
Usman who was writing on her official X handle she stressed the need to build a “nation and a world where honesty is not an exception but the minimum standard, where empathy guides policy, and where service to humanity is the highest calling.”
She equally urged parents, teachers, leaders and other stakeholders to reflect on what is passed onto posterity, even as she observed that, the next generation will not only dream but must be provided with the tools and conviction to build those dreams into reality.
The LP boss wrote; “Today, as we celebrate the joy, innocence, and boundless potential of our children, I extend my heartfelt wishes to every young soul whose dreams and hopes light up our future. As a mother and a leader, I am deeply reminded of the sacred duty we owe our children to nurture, guide, and inspire them to become the very best version of themselves.
“Children are not only the leaders of tomorrow; they are also the mirror through which society is judged. What we model today, they will replicate tomorrow. That is why it is imperative now more than ever that we, as adults, choose to live lives of purpose, integrity, and legacy.”
