The most intriguing idea, however, is to use Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah's thinking to interpret his own achievements in his chosen field: Oil & Gas downstream subsector. In this field, he is a primus inter pares, breaking all barriers to lead a relatively unknown company into becoming a market leader. It is still one miracle that has left industry stakeholders speechless.
Offering himself to lead Enugu State through the auspice of PDP, the party leaders and faithful found in him a man of immeasurable abilities, spectacular entrepreneurship skills, a manager of men and resources and of course a man with clear thoughts and emotional stability to govern and produce endearing results. They went on to trust him with the mandate to fly the party's flag.
In his quiet way, he has through his Manifesto: Statement of purpose brought about a conceptual revolution by triggering a shift in our understanding of the future of Governance: a model based on disruptive innovation.
To run a productive Governance model, every right thinking leader must wake up to the reality of doing things radically different. Yes, because over the years, we have consistently done things over and over again across the nation thus achieving the same result. There is no gainsaying the fact that the present "turmoil" and impasse we have in Nigeria which has reached its crescendo is a result of our leaders lack of initiatives or fear of doing things differently.
in Enugu State, we have been lucky to have a Governor who is passionate about a new order and who committed a lot of resources into laying basic and requisite foundations for future growth thus forerunning the new Enugu Project of a radical drift from the lethargy of the past.
It is therefore a welcome development that we have found in Dr Mbah the man with the midas touch, a man that marketing his candidacy produces no headache.
He is not coming to sweet tongue us with promises of a quick and flowery return to economic grandeur but to sting us to a radical consciousness of what could be done and how to do it to achieve results gusing a new model anchored on a productivist ethos.
He is armed with the knowledge that even the best managers of Government face a dilemma because by doing the very things they need to do to succeed such as listen to their subjects, pander to the whims and caprices of interest groups to meet up with short term results etc they run the risk of ignoring certain bold steps and“disruptive” innovations that could have ensured sustainable result.
Let's warm up to the reality that with Dr Peter Mbah, # tomorrowisHere
