POLITICS
Yakson’s foray into politics several years ago was borne out of a deep-seated com.mitment and conviction that politics and service are sinequanon. For him, politics is call to service.
He is the sponsor of Yakson Youth Vanguard and Yakson Solidarity Movement. These are grassroot political fronts that principally ensure that the grassroot participates actively in politics. In Politics, Yakson is a disciple of collectivity and counselor for “no-one be left out”. It must be all inclusive and geared towards the improvement of the common good.
A critical appraisal of the personae; Yakson reveals a divine call to purpose; service to humanity. This is encapsulated in humility that could break the ice. It is thus not surprising that Yakson could be seen amongst the upper stratum as much as he hobnobs with the “commoners” of the society. The thing that has made him a household name.
