MY IDEA OF REPRESENTATIVE LEADERSHIP

 


By 

Hon. Anthony Igiehon



Anyone can sit in the comfort of his office and delegate tasks or accept the hypocrisy of his staff that all is well with their endeavour, but there is more to effective leadership than that. For me, being effective as a leader involves being abreast with existing realities and with a complimentary dexterity to act accordingly. Such actions impact not only those you manage or who work with you, but more importantly those whose mandate you are privileged enough to carry.


In serving them, titles or even accolades amounts to naught. This is so because representative leadership is much more meaningful and profound when it meets the needs of the people. In tandem with this truth, my consultation visits to the 20 wards that make up the Federal Constituency of Egor/Ikpoba-Okha has been submerged in factual needs assessment an essential tool in any functional society.


Strategically, I have assembled these desires of our people and in fairness they are neither overboard nor impossible to implement should we refine, improve and develope them into workable plans, secure the necessary resources and lookout for/negotiate opportunities.


Quite frankly, aside the strong will to pursue the goal, it is rather a matter of influence than of rank or title that characterizes self-aggrandizement and self-service which has a devastating ripple effect on the citizenry.


This is my idea of representative leadership, a clear path to bringing democratic dividends to the people. It is on this premise that the concept of RESTORATION was birthed and the purpose for which it shall be forcefully semonized. The idea particulars the supremacy of the rule of law, true federalism, constitutionalism as well as capacity building and amelioration of social amenities. 


All these we can and must do and I will not tire out till the work is done.



Hon. Anthony Igiehon is an aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Egor/Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency in Edo state.
