Opinion: Navigating Through The Challenges Of The Times, The Captain We Need

By Uche Aguoru

In times like this, states and even nations desire the services of brilliant men with brilliant ideas, men with vision whose mission will be to bring about a prosperous state or nation.

Given the challenging times, we are in, we need a leader who will provide sustainable socio-economic and infrastructural development for our dear state.

A leader who has a well-articulated and achievable manifesto, whose pedigree, capacity and competence level will be open to all, one who has the creative ability to remodel our economy, the discipline and willpower to plug the revenue holes, generate revenue and revamp the state’s industrial potentials, create good wealth policies and articulate sustainable medical care for citizens, a leader who will work towards achieving a permanent solution to our security challenges.

A leader who is not coming with vendetta but armed with cognate experience and knowledge of our environment who can upon assumption of office tackle insecurity, jumpstart the economy and fastrack our infrastructure.

A leader who will make education, healthcare and the general welfare and progress of the citizenry uppermost in all his calculations.
A leader who will champion the development of the youths through sustainable and altruistic youth empowerment programs, and develop a program that will fund their training in ICT and advanced modern technology in specialized fields abroad.

A stabilizer who will develop a human capacity-building program to bridge the gap between the ordinary Abian, the youth, the political class, the market woman, the okada rider and the rich.

A people-oriented leader who is accessible to all and understands the plights of everybody.
A leader “Ga Eme Uche Ndi Abia”

That captain is Prof. Eleazar Uche Ikonne, he has been tested and has proved that he can be trusted let’s give him our support and confidence then watch him navigate us to the Abia of our dreams.
