Wau, 10 May, 2022 / 6:04 pm (ACI Africa).
A member of the Clergy of South Sudan’s Wau Diocese is calling on the leaders in the East-Central African country to be at the service of the people and not dictators.
In his Sunday, May 8 homily at St. Mary’s Cathedral of Wau Diocese, Fr. Germano Bernardo Baku said people normally follow servant leaders rather than those who lord it over them.
“As a leader, you should be a servant not a dictator, because if you are a dictator, people will not be able to follow you because you say everything by force and order them to do it for you,” the Vicar General of Wau Diocese said, and added, “If you are a servant leader then your people will follow you.”
The South Sudanese Catholic Priest further said, “A leader should be at the service of his people and be in position to know the fears and joys of his people.”
“If you don’t know the challenges and difficulties your people go through then you are a failure, not a leader,” Fr. Baku said.
