WHY DELTANS NEEDS SENATOR OKOWA AS NEXT GOVERNOR It is obvious for anyone to ask what is different about Senator Okowa from others. When you meet him your gut feeling tells you, this man is different. But when you go beyond your gut feelings and look at the history of independent Nigeria you can list a number of objective factors that make him outstanding. Here is a leader who has both power and passion. We have seen political leaders who had visionary thinking and we have seen some leaders who had an eye for the details, but Okowa can do both. While his eyes are focused on the stars his feet are firmly on the ground. Here i will make an attempt to look some his qualities which make him different and make him standout. A MASS LEADER - He has reached to the people in a manner that very few politicians of Delta have been able to. This is not a political bondage but an emotional chord which Okowa has been able to develop with the common man. His fan following ranges from the urban intelligentsia to the rural masses, among the old and the young, men and women, within Delta and outside. A large number of people among the Deltans in diaspora spread across continents adore him. He has innovatively used latest technology and social media to connect with a wide range of people across Delta . OBSESSED WITH DEVELOPMENT There is one constant thought in okowa ’s mind- development.we can see it from his investments on health sectors recently he gave out ambulances and hospital equipment to various hospitals and many of his projects across his constituency . A scientific approach to problem solving: First he sees the problem – not in isolation in its entirety. He spends long time in understanding the problem from all possible angles, because he knows that a problem well understood is half solved. He is an excellent listener. Then he thinks of a solution. He does not take ad hoc steps or looks for a short cut or cosmetic changes. He thinks about permanent and long term solutions with a futuristic vision and transformation from the roots. Then he works out a road map – with clear targets and milestones, objectives and monitorable indicators. It is then that he works out the implementation mechanism. He chooses not only the right process, right agency but also the right persons. Last, but not the least, he has the capacity to monitor, and follow up. He is not a management graduate, but his wisdom and innovations surpass what is taught in management schools. His experience of intensely traveling the length and breadth of country in general and as senator makes him understand the problems at the grass-root level and his global exposure and wide reading give him the right perspective and vision to find solutions to these problems. NOTHING FOR HIMSELF People who are in power are often charged with nepotism and favourtism which they do to their relatives. Okowa is far away from any such charge. He also enjoys an image of fairness and integrity which in the process make him over look his own personal interests and those of his near and dear ones. It can be perceived as a negative trait in the personality of a common man but for a statesman, it contributes to the society. Having grown up and worked among people, he firmly believes that people are the real change agents. He says that the real fruits of any developmental programme can be cherished if it is converted into people’s movement instead of government’s development programme per se. He is an objective decision maker. He does not mix political requirement with administration prudence. Even after being reminded of political consequences of an administrative decision he takes the side of objectivity. His objectivity and professionalism, personal integrity and empathy for the common man separate him from other politicians . His conviction of purpose and sincerity have made him popular leader not only in the Delta State but also in the senate . Adjudged as one the Best senator in country , he has proved that “Good Governance is also Good Politics”. Not only that, he has been a trend setter in the paradigm shift from appeasement politics to developmental politics. These are some of the traits that make senator Okowa different and a change Delta eagerly awaits! Honour must be given to whom it is due.To one of the most distinguished Senators of the Federal republic of Nigeria and a great,exemplary and seasoned servant-leader,we say billion gbozas for you; even as we wish you the most exalted seat of our dear Delta State come 2015 Pax erit vobis, senator okowa !
