A respected elder statesman, Dr. William Toyin Akanle, has called on the people of Okun land in Kogi state to unite and support one another.
In his goodwill message to delegates at the second edition of Okun Summit with the theme ‘Okun Unity: The Power of one Voice, The Strength of Many Hands’ and organised by Okun Development Initiative (ODI), Dr. Akanle said unity is not just a virtue but a necessity.
Dr. Akanle noted that the theme encapsulates the essence of Okun people’s collective strength and resilience.
“When we come together as one, our voices amplify, and our hands work in harmony to achieve greatness.
“In the face of challenges, unity is not just a virtue but a necessity. It is through unity that we can overcome obstacles, build a brighter future, and ensure the prosperity of our beloved Okun Land.
“Let us continue to stand together, support one another, and work towards a common goal. With one voice, we can make our message heard. With many hands, we can build a stronger, more united community.

“As we continue to work together in unity, Okun Land will forever stand as a beacon of unity and strength,” he said.
Dr. Akanle admonished Okun people to pursue a future where every voice is heard, every hand contributes, and every heart beats as one.
“In our collective pursuit of progress, we will overcome challenges, celebrate successes, and build a brighter tomorrow for Okun Land. United, we will rise; together, we will thrive,” he added.
