The representative of Etsako constituency of Edo State in the House of Representatives, Mr. Anamero Dekeri, aka Danco, has stated that all that is needed for the society to work is to have the will-power to make it work, and ensure that the society is all-inclusive, starting from the people that are highly deprived.

Dekeri, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who is the founder of Anamero Foundation, spoke in Benin at the well-attended and carnival-like kick off of the distribution of 500,000 exercise books to primary and secondary school students in the 18 local government areas of Edo state.

He said: “The society does not require rocket science to work. All that we need, for the society to work, is to have the will-power to make it work, but not forgetting that the society is a chain. While there is a disconnect somewhere, it will ultimately affect the functionality of the entire chain.

“If the poor people among us continue to be deprived of good things in life and they suffer lack, and very few personally are making all the money, there will be no place for the rich to enjoy the money made.

“If we want the society to work for all of us, let it be a society that is all-inclusive, starting from the people that are highly deprived. This is why I will call on all well-meaning Nigerians to continually help the poor. They do not need to be in government; before they can assist the less privileged in the society, and think more about them. As long as you are blessed and endowed, you can help the needy, to ensure peace, adequate security and happiness for all of us.

“We cannot all be evenly endowed. For the society to work, the number of people that are happy should be more than those that are not.”

The federal lawmaker also disclosed that while he was growing up, as a young man, in the late 80s, he started from a very humble background.
