| Tony Akan |
In a political clime like Nigeria where elected officers and political office holders often make themselves demi-gods to their subjects, it will be totally unthinkable for anybody to believe that there could be a politician, in this part of the country, who sees fame and extravagant life style as unnecessary to his calling. Such politician could be said to be a pretender whose real character is masked within the frontier of his political interest with the aim of currying supports from his people to further his political course. But when such life style is consistent with the person in question for many years, such can be said to be his character. Therefore, show me a politician who snubs his supporters after election and I will show you a man who has turned his house into human friendly centre. A man who spends every day of his existence listening to his people and assisting them in all human possible ways. A politician who takes everybody around him as his sibling and deny no one his right. A peaceful gentleman who believes that promotion comes from God, and as such, whoever God chooses to lead him and his people deserves their support. Show me the people’s leader, pathfinder, father to the poor, students-friendly captain, and I will tell you that Rt. Hon. Tony Akan is the one.
