“In communities across the nation, I urge the youths to eschew anger and violence, but toe the line if seeking redress diligently through all lawful means.”
Earlier, the International President of the club,
Mr. Obinna Amoke, assured that under his leadership there would be no room for manoeuvring, manipulating, maleficence, mismanagement and corner cuttings.
According to him, This is one area I will neither be fair, friendly nor flexible as intend to guard NALT with all the fiduciary responsibilities that come with the office of the International President.
Amoke admitted that he was aware of the numerous challenges facing NALT including those inflicted from within.
He added: “I’m even more conscious of the difficulties in responding to these challenges but like many of you, I am an unrepentant and adamant believer in the infinite possibilities abound when twins rise up collectively and in one accord to address their issues.
“NALT’s future should and must be envisioned by NALT members and I am glad that so many of our members are willing to respectfully support our structure and governance architecture as we sojourn and journey to the NALT we desire and deserve.”
This year, he revealed NALT would be empowering 40 widows as part of its intervention program.
Amoke noted: “We see charity from the perspective of identifying what the charity requires. We also know that not all charity is all about money, physical presence. It could be encouragement, it could be material things and otherwise. There is no time we have the convention without having enough to give because we have a target.”
