Political philosophers of different political hews always ask whether the forays of leaders into politics should be described as "an accident of history or an inevitable consequence of history"? In the case of Governor Umahi, it is an inevitable consequence of history. Let us reflect:
His Excellency, Engr. Dr. David Nweze Umahi, fnse,fnate came on-board as the Governor of Ebonyi State when the State and its people yearned for infrastructural development to save the face of the State and the faces of its citizens from the quagmire of derogatory remarks and derisive descriptions as dust of the nation, wawawa people, primitive people, barbaric people, rural people, backward people, disadvantaged people and all other forms of denigrating diatribes.
Once he was sworn in and took the mantle of leadership of Ebonyi State on 29th May, 2015, workaholic Governor Umahi hit the grounds running with the speed of sound, overtaking other states in one fell swoop and shaming his detractors who had concluded he won't make a headway.
Today, Governor Umahi has cleaned up the ridicule and humiliation Ebonyi State and Ebonyians suffered in the past and plastered pride and prestige. In five years and still counting, Ebonyi State has become a beauty to behold and an attractive tourist destination for travellers all over the world. Governor Umahi's great leadership feats are products of his equally amazing leadership qualities which have earned him best of the best Governor in Nigeria back to back.
Based on the above premises, we don't need rocket science to know that Governor Umahi is a leader who has the leadership qualities, prowess and ingenuity to re-write our nation's history. This is because he has proven himself not only in the areas of infrastructures, but also in other facets of our national life.
If Governor Umahi could bring Ebonyi State to these glorious heights within five years of his administration and in the face of paucity of resources, one could imagine what this great leader would do if given the opportunity to have shot at the presidency of Nigeria.
The Igbos say that a great wrestler is easily identified by his strides. Governor Umahi's giant strides in Ebonyi State lend eloquent testimonies to his uncommon leadership guruship and if replicated at the national level shall completely re-write our chequered history and place Nigeria at the apogee of leadership renaissance and respectability all over the world.
A leader's stellar performance in office is predicated on his antecedents. Governor Umahi has given us a parameter in Ebonyi State and it plausibly substantiates that his leadership qualities can re-write our nation's history.
APC.
Governor Umahi is the answer.
