Political parties in Nigeria have been charged to rally round the government to find lasting solutions to the security challenged being faced in the country without politicizing it for selfish gains or heating up the polity unnecessarily. Former Commonwealth Secretary General, Emeka Anyaoku who made the call in Ibadan the Oyo State Capital during this year's edition of Civil Service Public Forum, added that the advanced countries of the world survive and overcome terror attacks because all political parties work as one against a common enemy. He also charged civil servants to see the public forum as an avenue for stock taking and renewed commitment to truly add value and eschew corruption in all facets. The host, Oyo state Governor, Abiola Ajimobi in his address underscored the crucial nature of civil service without which no meaningful development can take place. He said working closely with civil service has given him the opportunity to deliver on some of his electioneering campaign promises and urged even more dedication from them to truly transform the state. He charged them to shun mediocrity, partisan politics and corruption promising that he will not relent in efforts to improve their lives. The Chairman of the forum and former secretary General of commonwealth, Emeka Anyaoku said that today's civil service must be strengthened and emboldened to drive development, stamp out corruption and receive appropriate rewards for their sweat. Anyaoku added that the security challenges faced by the country can be overcome if all political parties in the country stop the pursuit of selfish ends to deal with the problem as one. Earlier in his welcome address, the Head of Service, Alh. Tajudeen Akanmu urged all workers to embrace the constant training and strategic information provided by government as basic tools to liberate them from the captivity of ignorance and mediocrity.
