Delta State
Within the ‘BODMAS’ of my political malcolmatics, the word ‘political strategy’ deals with politics but primarily revolves round a strategic standpoint of political ingenuity.
Political strategies are often developed by great masterminds in different political stratosphere, in order to achieve some pre-determined political objective that may either be in conflict or agreement with some people, depending on which side of the divide they stand.
There have been numerous high-ranking political strategists in Nigeria who have carved a niche for themselves, as well as left enduring legacies for generations to come, with their avant-garde political acumen. They were either directly involved in the designing and execution of plans themselves or they did it through the aid of their trusted political advisers or foot soldiers.
The likes of Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi, Aminu Kano, MKO Abiola, etal, displayed uncommon political ‘malcolmatics’ with clear templates and strategies for generations to imbibe and emulate. But the sad realities is the present political topsy turvy being displayed by the current class of leaders within our political terrain. It is so sad and disappointing that since 1999, we are still grappling with the nitty-gritty of good governance. Notwithstanding, there are very few politicians who are making us proud against all odds.
Enter Sen.(Dr.) Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa, Executive Governor of Delta State, whose meteoric rise from relative obscurity having being a ward Councillor to his present political status, clearly defines him as one who has consistently displayed an extraordinary political acumen in understanding the nuances of the game while rising slowly yet steadily to the zenith of his political sojourn. And this has clearly made him to tower head and shoulders above his contemporaries.
I have carefully x-rayed and understudied his style of leadership and political strategy, and how he has flawlessly deployed same in maneuvering his way towards arriving at his desired destinations over the years and have come to the conclusion that he is a rare breed of astute politician with an unusual political intelligence and sagacity. His strong belief in God and his unflinching passion to better humanity, is always at the heart of every decisions he takes. In my view, if he were to be practicing as a medical doctor, he would still be as successful as he is today as a politician.
My advice to all and sundry, especially political leaders in Delta State in particular, is for them to continue to support, encourage and emulate this SMART working Governor as he continues this journey towards building a stronger Delta for all.
Political Malcolmatics:
You + Me + Okowa = A STRONGER Delta.
May God bless you all!
May God bless Delta State!
May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
