To put it straight, most appointments
are given as slots to godfathers, party
leaders and friends. This is not only in
Katsina. Its all over our land. Even
though in rare cases those nominated,
perform wonderfully.
But to be realistic that shouldn’t be so.
Yes, as a politician you want to pleases
different segments of the society and
create a firm political structure nd base.
You also want to satisfy those that
sponsor or contributed to ur election.
However, a leader in this 21st century
should look beyond that. He can match
the 2, appoint who u want, achieve
performance nd still be in hold of ur
political structure. Tinubu is a case
study here.
I was reading a book titled “MY VISION”
By leader of Dubai Muhammad
Almakhtoum last night. And I came
across one of his many innovations,
what he called ‘SECRET SHOPPERS’.
Secret shoppers as I read more abt
them are Trusted people that will be
’employed’ by a leader mostly secret
friends that will go down the ladder,
ministries, restaurants, social media,
Institutions to get exceptional people to
be appointed to head a govt place or be
part of a team.
Imagine picking a long Time junior Staff
of water board, who knows the history of
Ajiwa dam, who worked with those
white men that constructed the Dam
and the treatment plant. Who also
knows all our pipes route. Who sees our
water supply challenges of ’70s, 80s,
90s, ’00s and saw how various past
govts attempt to tackle those problems.
What if that man is appointed SA water
supply or something similar.etc
Gov. Masari should imbibe great
leaders in developing Katsina. We can
be a rural state for now, with no Weekly
Airplane landing schedule. But he can
change our fortune when he open the
horizons. Let him appoint people who
can walk into his office and tell him what
they feel should be done how and its
implications. Our past leaders may ve
their shortcomings, but I believe they
laid strategic foundation in some
sectors.
And for GABM to achieve that, he need a
strong patriotic team wit foresight. He
need to turn away from sycophants.
Because, they will only lead him to d
ditch. Most of them ve done it before,
and they will do it again.
GABM should know that he will not
share his grave with those sycophants
and ‘bigmen’. He should do what is
good for the people, and what will send
him To Aljannat.
For now i wish him all d best, I pray for
his success. As we start d countdown
to d end of his Honeymoon.
Allah raya jihar kt.
l must give my acknowledgement to the pionners of this great online paper. Now Katsina people who need to voice out their views politically, economically or otherwise do have a chance to do so. I am glad to witness this development, its surely a milestone towards actualizing our dreams. May God see you through.
