Warren Bennis has described leadership as the capacity to translate vision into reality; while General Montgomery states that leadership is the capacity and the will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence. In the view of Austrian-American management consultant, educator, and author, Peter Drucker, “leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations. The above leadership quotes are just to corroborate the fact that Usman Okai Austin just perfectly fits into the responsibility thrust upon him by the Almighty God and the constituents.
In very recent years, Nigerians have become more agitated and much concerned with the many complexities associated with governance. Today, leadership roles are increasingly in the public domain and since important questions concerning its role and performance in Nigeria have been raised, the general public and the entire academic community have shown an intense on who should lead. Sociologists as well as political scientists have begun to view the issue of leadership as a subject for serious study. Nigerians are asking questions as to why much progress had not been made since the nation’s independence. The readily made answer is that there is strong leadership vacuum and hence, the development in all sectors has become a mirage. Leadership failure has been the bane of many African countries, but in recent years, there is a loud call for a paradigm shift and Mr. Okai has joined the queue for this call.
Now that the general election is a couple of days away, there is the urgent need for the good people of Dekina/Bassa federal constituency to recognize the fact that they need someone or a leader who is strongly determined to rewrite their ugly past story for good, a leader who will listen to them and who will address their challenges. Who do you see is bold enough to do that? It is only USMAN OKAI AUSTIN that can do it.
Dekina/Bassa federal constituency deserves to have proactive, bold, courageous, agile, intellectual mobile, kind nationalistic forward- looking personality and a leader like Austin Okai to lead the constituency to the next level. Okai will use all these superlative attributes to re-construct, rework and re-engineer the urgent socio- economic development of the area.
Usman Okai Austin has local, cosmopolitan, national and global views on critical issues, he will take a cursor look on matters of serious concern to the constituency if graciously elected to the green chamber of the national assembly in next month’s general elections.
The people of Dekina and Bassa do not need expired ideas or individuals that are clueless and are already tired to lead the way or occupy the exalted seat f the House of Representatives because they are doomed to draw back crucial development in the area. The people of the constituency are already tired of them.
One thing is very sure, Austin will listen to the electorate, not minding the age, sex, status, creed or tribe. Let us team up together and give Austin all the votes to change the old, nasty and evil narrative of the past and move along with Okai of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
God bless Dekina/Bassa Federal Constituency !!!
