Delta State is on an ambitious journey of having a global impact for a safe and sustainable future, growing a viable, self sustaining State, and developing new and viable markets. It is a journey that requires excellent leadership, flawless management and the hard work of every stakeholder in the New Delta Project. It requires above all a Governor with the right disposition and capacity to lead the State. The best pick from the pool of aspirants jostling to take over from Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan is Tony Chucks Obuh.
Being
the governor of Delta State is beyond just having talent. It is beyond street
popularity. It is beyond beauty and personal accolades. The quality of
leadership, more than any other single factor, determines the success or
failure of an organisation. To lead is to inspire, to influence and to initiate
productive change within people and processes as we move toward our vision.
Tony
Obuh's life and achievements have laid down the blue print or the foundation of
what is to come for the people of Delta State in the near future, but one that
without a doubt, will drum Delta State into industrialization and massive
development stage.
Delta
State does not lack the raw ingredients to brew to transform us into an
eminently prosperous society . We have them aplenty. There is a landmass that
competes with the size of many countries. We also have enormous foreign- currency magnetising resources, chief of which is crude oil.
This
has proved, over the decades, near inexhaustible. But it is deceptive wealth as
it hasn’t led us to the Promised Land. Not yet. Again what I deduce here is
that it is not enough to possess seemingly bottomless wealth. A breakdown
of the statistics indicates that most of Deltans are vibrant young men and
women ready to work productively for the fatherland.
On this score also, I discern that to have large human resources is not the magic wand for the greatness of a State. Something in the form of a direction must come along. Matching this dynamic population input in the mix is a rich potpourri of our cultural diversity coupled with an impressive array of investment potentials that can spin us hard currency, local and foreign investments and jobs if the State finds its way into the hands of a visionary and committed leader.
Delta
State cannot afford to get a Governor who is railroaded into the seat of power
without any demonstration of ability to comprehend the problems of our societies on the basis of which they could fashion a sustainable plan.
Tony
Obuh is that leader who has not only demonstrated a capacity for creative
thinking; his resource management capability is evident from his work. The new
song is Tony Chucks Obuh and every man, woman, youth and child is singing it
with joy and ecstasy. Welcome to a new world, welcome to the cheerful world of OBUHECSTASY!
