SOUTHEAST GOVS TRADE WORDS.
OKOROCHA and OBIANO In War-Of-Words: Who Is A Better Leader?
The leadership system in Nigeria sometimes
leaves one so awe-struck and wondering if some of the leaders are actually the best bet for the positions they occupy.
If you are abreast with events, you should have read about an ongoing war of words between two governors from the South-Eastern part of the country; Governors Rochas Okorocha of Imo State and Willie Obiano of Anambra State.
Rochas claimed that three of the four other
South-East governors were in talks with him
towards defecting to the All Progressives
Congress, APC and in a bid to rebuff the claims
and perhaps shame him, Obiano said Okorocha’s
credentials in leadership were not worthy to inspire anyone to follow him.
In a blistering clap back, Okorocha described Obiano as a clueless man who would have been better off as a militant than as a governor while insisting that he was better off in virtually every ramifications ranging from industry, governance, oratory skills and so on.
Well, the drama got even hotter as Obiano
described Okorocha as a motor park governor
and a shameless son who is spitting on his
father’s grave.
Here is how he put it: “If a governor that has
constructed countless number of roads and
bridges, embarked on several rural electrification
programmes constructed uncountable number
of schools, and health facilities as well as rid the entire Anambra State of crime and criminalities, is being termed clueless by Okorocha then there
must be another meaning for cluelessness".
“Okorocha is widely known for his questionable past which has continued to trail him despite his hogwash attempts to cover it up with a facade of his bogus but empty philanthropic activities. Many people
have over time seen through his tricks.
“Indeed Okorocha is an example of what a leader should not be. He talks of ideas when he cannot pay workers salaries and now tries to intimidate Imo retirees to forfeit 60 percent of their arrears of their sweat".
“Are those the kind of ideas we need at this
critical time? Those are destructive ideas, and a
destructive idea cannot bring about constructive
ends".
“This is a Governor who has failed woefully to pay workers salaries. He is also heavily indebted to even pensioners who have spent their youth and strength to labour for the state, in their old age".
“As Nigerians ruminate on this matter, the
question should be asked: What was Okorocha before he became governor?
What was his visible
source of income"?
It is hoped that the already messy drama would end with the tantrums without either party taking it to heart afterwards.
But with the status of the duo in the society as
supposedly role models, this should be the least
of what is expected of them.
Leadership should go beyond being petty because
it is a serious business and certain frivolities must
be done away with in order to achieve the best
they can.
In a democratic dispensation, constructive
debates are supposed to be a thing through
which leaders could learn and implement their
policies.
