Former Commissioner for Agriculture in Enugu State, Dr Eric Oluedo, has charged the Nigerian citizens to know their rights as well as live up to their responsibilities emanating from such rights.
.
Dr Oluedo in a chat with newsmen in Enugu yesterday, said his first song, “Child abuse is inspired by avoidable global conspiracy against Children.
.
“This calls for the recruitment of Crusaders to end child abuse and recruitment of crusaders to ensure the child lives up to his responsibilities based on 1979 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and 1989 OAU (AU) Charter on the Rights and Responsibilities of the Child”, he said.
.
The public health physician said his first song is “Child Abuse”, adding that the second Song, “Urunkwa (I love my country)”, Crusades for African Citizens’ ‘United We Stand’ Approach against Corrupt Practices including Ethnic and Religious Politics; Criminal Practices including Banditry and Terrorism etc.”
.
Oluedo who is also a health Economist, Management consultant and policy expert/strategist, explained, “the music crusades against the current ‘Divided We Fall’ cankerworm destroying us politically, economically, socially, technologically, environmentally and law and order.”
.
“We need to show strong love to Nigeria and Africa. My Organisation will sustain the crusades for the citizens to enjoy their rights and for the Citizens to live up to their responsibilities.
.
“Most of the time, Citizens fail to get their rights because they have not lived up to their responsibilities. Our Research findings show that after citizens transferred their power to the politicians after casting their votes during elections, the same citizens abandon their responsibilities to hold their elected politicians to deliver on their mandates and in accordance with the existing laws.
.
“Our crusade will stop this ugly trend. The citizens will soon start holding the actors in government responsible because the citizens are the rightful owners of the power.
.
“As a means of achieving the above objectives and visions, Dr Oluedo stated that “Activities For the Rights and Responsibilities of Citizens (AFORRC INTL)” has different departments that work harmoniously for maximum efficiency.
.
They include: Music department, M- AFORRC,
Legal department, L-AFORRC,
Research department, R-AFORRC, Budget department, B-AFORRC, Politics department, P-AFORRC
Economic department, E-AFORRC, Social department, S-AFORRC, and Technology department, T-AFORRC.
