Friendly Advise to Governor Obiano by SAGG.

 

DEAR GOV OBIANO,

I come to you as Special Adviser on Good Governance (UNPAID) because I care and as provided by the status of my UNPAID office. 

The Most difficult time for a Pilot is TAKE OFF and LANDING.

Pilot is the leader or Governor of everything, everybody in Aircraft, as he takes off, he address everybody.. 

Seat in your Seat.. Meaning be still and have trust on him, everybody including Hostess all sat down in  respect to his command. 

He now ask everybody to put his or her seat Belt on and they obey.. Meaning.. Let's build the economy as a Team, hold your peace and grace and watch me Pilot you to safety which everybody obeys. 

When the Pilots gives instructions, it is Total, No feeding, not even while you are choking there won't be Water or help until the plane stabilizes and the Pilot announce that you can go about your business, the journey continues. 

While landing same plane, the same process comes to play again... 

Note, the Pilot will say KINDLY SWITCH OFF YOUR MOBILE PHONE, sure we switch it off but after Landing, while Taxing to Stand, everybody switches on the phone even when they were asked to wait until plane come to Final stop, the reason is they felt safe enough, that nothing will affect them while Taxing on Runway and that the business they had with Pilot is over. 

What I am saying is.. While campaigning for the Office of the Governor you need to appease many people to gain confidence and Votes.. Many people joined to make the campaign smooth sail, but after election majority of those who spent time, money, connections to make it happen are been left at wilderness where they will be gnashing thier teeth regretting all the involvement toward the success, they will be waiting for a pay day or PAY BACK DAY. 

 While ending your Tenure you must have to also do same thing, all the people you OFFENDED during the sail, try and find a way to reach out and pacify them because once you left office, the immunity, respect, fears and other paraphernalia of the office will disappear, as allegiance will move over to incumbent where many will be trying hard to use tongue and lick his shoes, while trying to paint the outgoing as next to Demon,  then the analogy or Ukwu jie Agu, mgbada abialuya ugwo will suffice. 

Start reconciling with lots of people who have issues either with you or the Government, you may need them after Campaign, especially when you leave office of the Governor , then after swear inn, you will swear that life is not easy because you will get more than you bargained for even from those who eat from your Table, but they will wait for those who you bruised to cast the first pebble, so they can join and that will come like Hurricane. 

Don't forget there are jobs you can't assign, some jobs especially the ones that concerns your personality, you don't delegate because most of the people around are not working for your interest, they are working for what they will get from you and not Values they will add to you,beside they will like you to take the fall as they hide under your Shadow to perpetuate all the ills and you take the falls and blame. 

Sir, just know na Ogu di na Igwe, but a subtle pacification will reduce it to barest minimum. 

I speak because I always like to forewarn about Rain fall, so that when it comes raining Cat and Mule, I will say agwarum gi agwa. 

Having said the above, let me smartly go to Jogging at GRA ONUICHA before heading to Obalende For Amala with Anu Ewu. 

I remain Last Born Mpa Nnukwu, Special Adviser on Good Governance (UNPAID), Mkpisi Ndi Egede,
