Chief Okai appealed to the Igala community and all Nigerians to live in peace and harmony.

“In any community, office, church, or mosque, we should have the fear of God and live peaceably with everyone,” he urged.

Reflecting on the economic challenges of the past year, including the rising cost of living caused by increased petroleum prices, Chief Okai called on the government to intensify efforts to alleviate citizens’ hardships.

“We commend the government’s ongoing efforts but urge them to do more to ease the burden on Nigerians,” he added.

The traditional leader stressed the importance of youth empowerment through job creation and skill acquisition.

“If people, especially the youth, are engaged in meaningful jobs, they will not resort to crime,” he stated, urging the government to prioritize employment opportunities.

He called for stronger collaboration with government authorities and security agencies to tackle societal challenges.

“Traditional rulers must identify and address bad characters in their domains before issues escalate,” he said, urging government support for their efforts.

Additionally, he advocated for the preservation of cultural heritage while embracing modernization.

“Our communities must work with other tribes and stakeholders to ensure peace and progress for Nigeria as a whole,” he noted.

Chief Okai urged leaders at all levels to prioritize the welfare of their communities and foster harmonious coexistence.

“Government policies must include inputs from traditional rulers, who are in constant touch with the grassroots. This collaboration will lead to better governance and community development,” he emphasized.
