It was rather a surprise to see for the 1st time our elected governor taking the bold step to changing the face of leadership with a new 21st century style of leadership.
Governor Aminu Bello Masari has over the past few weeks displayed an exemplary leadership that truly cares for its people even when the motive might be otherwise which we are not hoping, from visiting petroleum stations pleading on behalf of the people that voted him to solicit for mercy at the hands of evil petroleum marketers, and yes I called them EVIL, to making round the clock supervision of contracts awarded down to a marathon of condolence visits to the lost souls and up again with town hall meetings as he had promised during his campaign.
It was impressive to finally see Masari showing real concern, but not all that glitters is GOLD. A problem is open to a solution, which is what makes it a problem. The 1st maiden media chat was something to cherish, a big thank you to the organizers and Governor Masari for accepting to participate in the media chat.
The distance from CAN to WILL keeps getting larger. You can connect, lead, see, speak, create, encourage, challenge and contribute. The confusion kicks in when we become overwhelmed by all the things we can do, but can’t find the time or the courage to actually commit and follow through.
These little act of kindness and concern by Masari is all we as followers wanted, let our leaders talk to us, let them be ready to listen to our feedbacks even if it stings because when a leader listen to none of the feedbacks, he will learn nothing so also if he listen to ALL of it, nothing will happen But we can definitely ask the questions. And get better at the art of listening (and dismissing).
My call to the government of Masari is to FOCUS, we know Shema auctioned cars worth N400million at the rate N53million all to himself and his cronies, that was the reason you decided to set up judicial committee of inquiry to investigate financial mismanagement but I assure you the leader who cries out like a child on how much liabilities & problems left for him by previous leadership will be left in the DUST by the leader who is focusing on winning, touching lives, rebuilding his people, inspiring the society by presenting a clear feasible & realistic road map and most of all by his body language even if the both problems hurts just as much..
Problems & Pain, of course, are matters of perception. Most of what we think about will result in how we act about.
Governor Masari you have a choice about where to aim the lens of your attention. You can relive past injustices, settle old grudges and nurse festering sores. You can imagine failure, build up its potential for destruction, and calculate its odds. Or, you can imagine the generous outcomes you are working on, feel gratitude for those that got you there and revel in the possibilities of what’s next.
At the end your story is your story. But you don’t have to keep reminding yourself of your story, not if it doesn’t help you change it or the work you’re doing.
May God help the government of Katsina to focus on things that really matters to its people.
