HON. BEN IGBAKPA: THE MODEL OF INTEGRITY, EXCELLENCE AND SELFLESSNESS.

World over, it is common knowledge that men's altitude is determined by two factors: intelligent quotient and attitudinal quotient. While intelligence gives space for ascension, attitude determines altitude. Attitude is everything.

We've seen folks whose intellectual preparations met opportunities and they became successful politically. But negative attitude nipped their successes in the bud. It is therefore safe to conclude that attitudinal quotient runs it all. Attitude is what protects what intelligence attracts.

The much anticipated September 2018 PDP primaries is just a few months away. Ethiope Federal Constituency, amongst other constituencies, is particularly overheated and fuelled by grand-mastered conspiracies, sectional political considerations, dire leadership factionalism, deceitful bargains and moves to shelve rules of engagement. But a free and fair primaries where aspirants, being fishers, are to test the strength of their nets would resolve it all. No imposition of candidates.

The present crops of delegates will get it right and put their names on marble if their scale will tilt towards the content and not the container of aspirants. Distinguished Hon Ben Rolland Igbakpa is seen as the Most Prized Political Possession of Ethiope Federal Constituency in lieu of his sterling political character content and track record. His campaign jingles are not hinged on vague promises but capacity. The angel we know is better than a devil who promises to repent as repentance holds no sureness for total political purification. Hon Ben Rolland Igbakpa is the one with the most outstanding character content that can attract the desires of Ethiope Federal from federal government.

A man who goes to the Green Chambers to measure wings with federal government will bring nothing home. A man who sees the Green Chambers as a cosmetic assemblage cannot attract realistic federal government presence to his constituency. A man who boasts of being called by a few will represent the interests of the few who called him. This is our chance to get it right. Let's send a man who will go for all of us. Let humility be our parameter. Ben Igbakpa is suplusly humble.
