Okowa’s 6 years of exceptional performance ~ Truth Reporters









By Jubilant Igelige

Until you walk close to a tree, you will hardly decipher the specie. It's true that, people with exceptional leadership traits command exceptional results. I am aware that, no mortal soul placed in any public service can sincerely appease or satisfy the world, but people with creative administrative curiosity, having the fear of God ordinarily travel extra mile to give everyone sense of belonging.

First, from the days of our nascent democracy, videlicet, considering historical antecedents, the spread of accelerated infrastructure development, human capital development, high administrative acumen and many other virtues, you'll agree that, Okowa is ranked very high in the performance radar.

Truly speaking, a life of fortune or political heights attained isn't a function of degrees acquired or by the strength of a gym. The Bible says, "...for by strength shall no man prevail." This unarguable position of his success stories is premised on the good political trajectory of leadership credited to "service to humanity" over the years, from when he became Secretary to Ika North East LGA, to Chairman, a two time Commissioner, to Secretary to State Government, to Senate, then back to Governor, which he currently occupy for 6years and still counting. This overwhelming political feats can only be attributed to a man of INEXPLICABLE GRACE.

Going forward, it's explicitly clear and interesting to know that, same leadership aura, as well as the ecclessiastial order of excellence is now being duplicated in the governor's 6 years of exceptional milestones - as witnessed and applauded by the vanguard of doubting Thomases.

Immediately, he took over the gavel as the Governor of Delta State, he redesigned his model and gave the first commitment by declaring May 29, of each passing year, "a praise & worship day," a purposeful spiritual excercise to be observed annually. Delta is a perculiar State with a lot of algebras to solve. Therefore, in order to have curative powers, he sought the mind of God, and had no option than initiates a "policy thrust" that chose God first.

As soon as he magnanimously declared May 29, for God, he began to coast to victory. The most critical assignments of the party were given to him as an acid test. He was made Chairman of the convention planning committee and Chairman, Ekiti State PDP Governorship primaries because he had been a thorough gentleman. This confidence reposed on him by the party rejuvenated his spiritual and physical strength, worked round the clock and came up with a free, fair and credible elections, with about 3,000 delegates in the eagle square, wherein Alhaji Atiku Abubakar emerged the presidential candidate, and Prof. Kolapo Olusola Elela, emerged the gubernatorial candidate at Ekiti State. That convention was universally accepted as the best ever had, in the historic books of Peoples' Democratiic Party (PDP), and consequently, "Gov. Okowa became the "Unsong Hero" of the party" till date.

Most importantly, on roads network, the working Governor has inherited "Roadmaster" as a Nickname. His administration has constructed over 483 roads and bridges across senatorial borders. On job creation scheme, YAGEP and STEP policy has taken over 6450 youths off the streets. On youths empowerment, 27,214 graduands have benefited from Technical Vocational Schools. Deltans have enjoyed the highest size of political appointment since creation, for the reason that he wants everyone to have a collaborative benefits of the national patrimony. He has also strengthened the traditional institutions for efficient governance. Also upgrading the 23,000 capacity Stephen Keshi Stadium and Asaba Airport to an international gateway for economic leverage is another landmark achievement of EKWEME.

In conclusion, I make bold to say that, Okowa is softhearted, a man with Gracebackup, whose potential benefits stands tall. It has been 6years of novel narrative, from one success story to another - climbing the political ladder from the cradle to the top is the handwork of God Almighty. This is no comedy. Therefore, Okowa's highlighted feats and experiences midwifed with uncommon political ingenuity SHOULD be rewarded with a higher position/office by deltans and Nigeria at large, on the account of his 6 years of exceptional performance - power belong to the people.

Congratulations Your Excellency!
