It is that season again when lights flood the streets and the sights and sounds steal hearts with their beauty and solemnity.
Cheerful greetings fly from one end to the other with best wishes of Love, Joy, and Hope. In this season, people share and care a great deal, giving away needed material gifts. They open their doors to friends and families for merriment and partying, having fun, and in most cases, giving thanks for having made it through a long year wherein countless of people have died. Not an easy journey, to put a mildly.
In a review of the fast folding year, one would see that a lot happened across the world and across the African continent in particular. War and hunger, fear and betrayal, corruption and deceit, anger and sickness, crime and death are on the increase and the people are continually unsafe.
African leaders across the continent owe their people the gift of making the living conditions better, of restoring hope in the government, of a better education, of peace and security, of a future befitting for the coming generations making each year better than the previous.
The people's gift to the leaders is their loyalty (not one borne out of fear, but of trust) and in turn, the leaders owe it to the people to perform ultimate service to the people's satisfaction.
From us all PBACs, we wish Africa a happy celebration!
