The general Elections will be coming up by February and INEC had consistently assured us that every single vote will count, candidates are now exploring different strategies to attract you to their sides, those who do not have any clear agenda for leadership see propaganda, lies, and deceit as the only tool to fraudulently achieve their selfish aim, while some want to further their continuous grasp on the state’s finances, some have made it a duty to continually stand election even though they haven’t been able to come open with a roadmap to the type of government they intend to lead, but one candidate stands out.
In our environment, politics is often presented as a conversation between winners and losers, those who are for and those who are against a particular candidate, the masses lose in the long run when we are so divided along political lines that we leave issues behind.
Today more than ever we need a leader willing to cross lines, close the divide and carry everyone along by bringing people with great ideas together to solve the challenges we face as a state, a leader with the ability to collaborate, inspire, and not scared of having some tough conversations that can move us forward.
Democracy is not a spectator sport, it requires citizen participation and engagement on how they are governed, our collective choices have long-term impacts on government policy, budget allocations, and the community that gets created in the future.
We must choose our leaders carefully and decide the quality of leadership we want, we are all in agreement that the system we run is not perfect and we also believe that it can be greatly improved upon, and to achieve that, we need a leader who is willing and open to connect to the views of the citizens, we need a new kind of leader who will be courageous enough to stands for something, a leader who will think globally and strategize locally to achieve positive changes, a visionary leader who will create a framework of core competencies, set targets and achieve results.
We need a leader who will operate from a place of integrity and courage with a clarity of purpose, an honest and cerebral leader with a clear developmental mindset, someone who is brave enough to damn the odds, defeat the challenges, and drive Abia to an enviable destination.
That leader is Prof Eleazar Uchenna Ikonne, The PDP governorship candidate let’s support him to give us a greater Abia.
