Expect 5% merry, 95% work from me -Soludo

There is a pervasive misconception amongst some of our people about politics (the period leading up to elections) and governance.

The belief that “politics” is the toil/work and governance is “merry”, constitutes a major cog in the wheel of public progress. For me, I hold that all the troubles that come with securing the people’s mandate constitute, at most, 5% of the work. The other 95% rests on the actual work, toil and expectation that comes with providing good governance. And, If this must be significantly achieved, then merry must mean the fulfilment of substantial public good; which in itself is about a cycle of continuous work.

This mindset was at the heart of our modest achievement in previous private and public sector endeavours. While we were reconstructing the pillars of our financial institutions, there were naysayers who benefited from the debilitating status quo. They were disappointed by our tenacity to achieve set goals.

The beauty of such disappointments is that the plight of the overwhelming majority of voiceless citizens takes the front burner, and somehow, the universe unites on the side of the oppressed. The reward is usually shared by all, so much so, that the past is taken for granted.

If there was a “good old day”, then it should only get better, not worse.

SOLUDO HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO OFFER NDI ANAMBRA.

HE WILL BE A CROSSBREED OF OBASEKI, WIKE AND EL-RUFAI

HE WILL BE SO BUSY HUNTING PERCEIVED ENEMIES AND SHOWING THE REST OF US HOW WE SHOULD BE OBEDIENT AND LOYAL TO HIS GOVERNMENT OR BE TERMED AN ENEMY OF STATE.

SOLUDO WILL EVENTUALLY BE THE WORST GOVERNOR TO RULE MY STATE.

I wish he will prove me wrong.
