A tree can not make a forest. Don't assume that just because you want to be a president You are going to turn things positively immediately. We have a lot to learn from advance countries who may have made this kind of our mistakes in governance. I think to be a great leader firstly you need to know the population of your people. How many are we, what and what do we have in our land, what is lacking, what Indeed is our pressing needs. How do we solve them, who do we need to consult to get this things done.

One more thing, you need to realise that the resources and the money involved isn't yours, but our common wealth. The next great thing is to be accountable to your people. There have been leaders in the world, good and evil, at every point in history different types of leaders have emerged. Some demonstrated great abilities to govern, others flopped like frogs. But the greatest secret of all was the ability to hear instructions and to carry them out even to the letters.

A leader who wouldn't listen to his advisers, I mean great counselors will not prosper. He is hole up in power and don't know what is happening outside of office, it is his great aides who are privileged to meet with this daunting task of finding the right solution to the challenges facing the administration and management of the people. They in turn advice the president on what to do. If he is wise, he will adhere to the counseling and psychotherapy prescription to heal his people. But if he doesn't care about improving the quality of life in the country, he stays put and no meaningful development is recorded in the country.

Just as the former president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan adviced, the president of Nigeria for now should stay longer than four years, to be able to manage the resources of the country. You can not just hand over the resources of your country to new bee's like you do every four years. There ought to be an elongated time for the president to work and deliver the goods. Like I said, to deliver the goods, you are going to need great counselors. That means, former president should also be appointed as advisers to the incumbent president. In that way, they will be able to share their experiences with the government. Where they failed and how they succeeded. They can not be on the outside and criticising the incumbent president. All hands must be on deck. A tree can not make a forest I said in the opening speech.
