‘Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things’ – Peter Drucker.

“If you put good people in bad systems, you get bad results. You have to water the flowers you want to grow” – Steven Covey.

In this our topsy-turvy state where Stephen Covey would have noted how we confuse efficiency with effectiveness, expediency with priority, imitation with innovation, cosmetics with character, pretence with competence, it is a time to reflect too on how to stop what Benjamin Franklin too calls ‘great talkers, little doers’ syndrome in our state.

Similarly, it is a time to break away from the sophistry of the enemies of state who continue to confuse integrity with competence, oratory with oracle… I mean it is a time to identify most of our good people who work in our bad systems, which continue to produce good results for Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria, our Nigeria.

As I will be saying as an ‘Apostle of Hope’ for this our great state, (KOGI) I continue to see hope in a few significant people who may not be prominent at this time. As Rick Warren, will say and I quote ‘Prophet of Purpose’, as TIME tags him, some people are prominent but not significant, while some are significant but not prominent. He posits in his classic, The purpose driven life that God the Almighty is more interested in significant people (to prepare to be part of His kingdom). And so, the US-based cleric and author says people should seek to live a life of significance, rather than a life of prominence.

Behold, it is a time to appeal to all our good people to freeze partisan politics, swallow our pride and vanity and begin to identify emerging young and good leaders in different sectors who can be tapped tomorrow to rebuild this country of ours, (NIGERIA). It is not enough to make so much noise across platforms in the name of the power that citizen journalism or social media influence has given.

There are so many social media platforms where we just tell so many tales every hour, like the ones told by idiots, as Shakespeare put it, which are ‘full of sound and fury, signifying nothing’.

Today, I will be just brief about one of the most talked about personality in the cabinet of Alh. Yahaya Adoza Bello, the governor of Kogi State.

The personality of Engr. Abubakar Sadiku Ohere is as glowing as the early morning sun, he has bridge good relationship between the masses and the government he is currently serving under.

Let’s not be deceived by detractors of Engr. Ohere, the political class we have been looking up to, since creation of Kogi state have never develop Kogi State to the extent Gov. Yahaya Bello is developing it now making the state to earn global respect, With the help of his most trusted allies which Engr. Ohere is part.

Some of the current leaders in Gov. Yahaya Bello’s cabinet have failed us. They are cankerworms. They are locusts. They are termites. They can’t build a dream state that Gov. Bello is aspiring to build, a state we’ll all be proud of in the comity of states and so we should begin to encourage personalities like HE, Edward Onoja, Chief Abdulkareem Asuku and Engr. Abubakar Ohere the classical leaders who think about restoration, reconstruction and pulling down of strongholds to develop state that desperate wicked enemies have ruined. It is a serious business as I am saying, beyond social media laments.

The youth most especially from the central part of the state  has witnessed unprecedented transformations as many are now car owner, business owners and self employed from the generosity of Engr. Ohere 
Ohere managerial skill has brought prosperity to Kogites.

The commissioner has kept his Covenant with Kogites by spreading infrastructural development,  human capital development, job creation to the three senatorial districts that made up the state.

As at today, Ohere has empowered more than 5,000 youths, farmers, built schools.

Ohere achievements are enviable and worthy of commendation by all.”
I called on Kogites to always support, encourage and pray for him so that he can do more for the youths and  bring more development to the people.

Let’s not get it twisted, I never wrote this for any favour from any of those people I mentioned. This is just a moment of truth about our misruled state in the past that we need to rebuild with the power that truth gives us. I think this is how our leaders should courageously work for the people. This is how our leaders should confront our challenges.
