My Next President of Nigeria

My next President of Nigeria must be a leader. I mean a true leader and a leader is by definition, an innovator. He does things other people haven’t done or don’t do. A leader will always go for the unprecedented. A leader does things in advance of other people. He makes new things. He makes old things new. As one author puts it “… leaders must be right- brain, as well as left-brain thinkers. They must be intuitive, conceptual, synthesizing, and artistic.” Other requirements for my next president of Nigeria stem from the expanded definition of a leader. Nigeria needs a president that will lead brilliantly not just from his mind, but also from his heart. In other words, a president that will serve with greatness and goodness. A president that will serve with all his might.

My next president of Nigeria must have exceptional intellectual skills with deep humanitarian instincts. A president that does not romanticize or sentimentalize the difficult circumstances of his childhood. Rather, use his acutely painful experience as a source of life-long compassion and concern for Nigerians especially the poor majority. A president that will exercise incomparable drive and determination. A president that can make a very good decision that will go a long way in causing a positive change in the lives of the citizens.

A president with the belief that he has a purpose to fulfil. A president who will engrave his name in history. With our nation greatly embroiled in economic and social turmoil, and other age-old dilemmas, the president’s purpose must be to preserve the true meaning of democracy-“government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” A president who will consistently find the courage to invigorate the spirits of our citizens at this period of our nation’s most dire and desperate times. A president who will invoke the citizens to be truly passionate about the nation.

A president who is compassionate, kindhearted, and immodest. A president that will wield the vast powers of the presidency more tenderly and forbearingly. A president with extraordinary empathy that will put himself in place of poor Nigerians to experience what they are feeling and to understand their motives and desires. A president with a crowning gift of political diagnosis of what is wrong with our nation and with solutions.

A president with a rare wisdom of temperament that consistently displays magnanimity toward those that oppose him. A brilliant thinker and masterly orator who will move Nigerians through his humour and kind personal presence. A president whose honesty and eloquence will produce conviction in Nigerians because of his own convictions. A president gifted with quick and benign wit to soften wounded feelings and dispel anxieties of the poor and other marginalized elements in our society.A president who will direct, manage conflicts, motivate, create a new status quo that will forever be maintained.

A president whose engagement and performance will be influenced by feelings and emotions of Nigerians. A president that will show he’s a human being who is able to identify with the challenges our people face and the sacrifices they make. A president who gets up in the morning and is more excited because he’s nervous about the burden of 190 million Nigerians squarely placed on his shoulders. And if the president is not nervous every day he gets up in the morning, then he’s dead. A president who is willing to learn by leading in the face of obstacles knowing full well that as weather shapes mountains, so do problems makes leaders.

My next president of Nigeria must be able to see everybody as somebody and must eradicate wickedness in the nation by advocating for love. My next president of Nigeria must be a strong advocate of love, peace, unity, altruism and harmony.

So far, those making noise about the presidency, in my opinion, do not meet these qualifications of my next president of Nigeria. But then, it will interest you to know that we can really make one if we use our voting powers to search for the passionate one.

Who cares who the next president is? He will still fail like all others before him.

No fraudulent union ever works, no matter who the leader is

My Next President must not be BUHARI

Are you trying to say that you cannot have one drop of hope in you? You need to change your sense of reasoning.

Can you tell us why he deserves to be the next president?
