GOVERNOR NASIR IDRIS, BUILDING ROADS, CONNECTING PEOPLE AND INSPIRING LIVES.

Image
By Ibrahim A Jombali  The people's Governor is building roads and by investing in roads across Birnin Kebbi, Kalgo and Bunza, the Kebbi governor is making a case for infrastructure as an instrument of economic inclusion, agricultural expansion and practical governance. This is a sensible effort.  Ibrahim Abubakar Jombali  Special Adviser on Public Enlightenment and Orientation to the Kebbi State Governor disclosed this in a statement made available to Newsmen in Kebbi. Different people are in politics and they do their politics in different ways. There is a particular kind of politics that announces itself with noise, empty noise, and another that reveals its value only when the noise has subsided. The first thrives on slogans, ceremonies and the choreography of public acclaim. The second is measured in the distance a farmer travels to market, the cost of moving a bag of grain, the time a patient spends reaching a hospital and the opportunities that emerge when an isolate...

LESSONS LEARNT FROM THE POLITICAL JOURNEY OF DR JAMIL ISYAKU GWAMNA

Image
By Ibrahim Sani Shawai Political journeys reveal far more than ambition. They test character, reveal convictions and offer valuable lessons in leadership, human relations and personal development. Beyond the pursuit of political power, a leader’s journey provides insights into the values and principles that shape meaningful influence. Observing the political journey of Dr Jamil Isyaku Gwamna, popularly known as Sardaunan Gombe, I have identified several qualities worthy of recognition, reflection and emulation. Patience and Emotional Maturity: One of the most important lessons from Sardauna’s political journey is the value of patience. Politics is often characterised by pressure, provocation, uncertainty and competing interests. His ability to remain calm and measured reminds us that not every situation demands an immediate reaction. Sometimes, wisdom lies in listening, observing and allowing sound judgement to prevail over emotion. Those who can control their temper are better positio...

There Is Wisdom in Silence: A Lesson from the Political Conduct of Dr. Jamil Isyaku Gwamna

Image
By Abdullahi Tukur. In life—and especially in politics—not every statement deserves a response. A wise individual understands that there is a time to speak and a time to remain silent.
