Honourable FJC


The Oath makes no reference to serving your leader, it
talks about serving the nation "without fear or
favour, affection or ill will so help me God"


By the way, remember your party's favourite motto:
National Interest before Individual's Interest. SEE
APRC's Constitution.

Thank you

Your cosntituent in the disaspora.

Sanusi Owens
