Facts About Gov. Bello's Leadership - Comr. Success by Sucblack1: 6:41pm On Apr 21, 2017 |
Something is dawning on us—it’s almost too soon for us to admit, but it’s there, a half-considered thought only now blooming in our brains. Maybe we dismiss it with one of u those quick cognitive fly swats. Nah, too early to say or I hate that guy. But the truth is coming, and it sounds like this: Gov. Bello will be inducted into the league of Great Governors. Wait a moment. One of the Greatest? you ask? your thumb emoticon poised to turn up or down on me. The guy haters love to hate with their very best hate game? Like 20-million Wada great? Like Mount patti great? Yep. (We just won’t build Mount Patti anymore.) In so many ways, Gov Bello was better than we imagined, better than the body politics deserved, and far, far better than his enemies will ever concede, but the great thing about being great is that, the verdict of enemies doesn’t matter. In fact, and I say this as a Audu’s fan, I now feel certain that, in the coming decades, Gov Bello’s star will rise higher than any Governor in Kogi State and he’ll replace Wada in the public minds as the Greatest Democrat since 2016. This has a lot to do with the nature of Bello’s leadership style, which is to play to legacy (and Audu’s impulse, which is to play to the room). Audu will long be revered because, he’s charismatic presided over an economic revival,change and elevated the view of the Democratic Party. Yahaya Bello will long be revered because he’s charismatically presided over an economic revival, changed and elevated the view of Kogi State government among the comities of States. He’s simply bigger than Wada in spheres of comparison. More to the point, Bello’s legacy is the sort that gets canonized,because the first rule of Hall of Fame-dom: The times have to suck for the Governor not to civil wars, depressions and recessions. You got to have ’em if you wanna be great. To unify where and however we can. In this way, too, Bello pointed the way forward. But it’s also why we downgraded Wada. Were he is bad in real time as we remembered him in history? Probably not, but he is dealt sucky hands, only played one round, and left the State feeling worse off. Legacy Game over. beyond specific hurrah moments like Bello cares, rescuing the economy, and making Kogi way more bi-curious. Being the first none Igala and Ebira Governor of course secures a certain legacy. But what now feels distinctly possible is that, just as Martin Luther King Jr. dreamt, over time he may be judged less for the color of his skin than for the content of his message. He is the Leader not only of our state but of our mood and disposition, which is harder to rule. At a time when we became more polarized, our discourse pettier and more poisoned, Bello always come across as the Adult in the Room, the one we wanted to be and follow. #God#bless#GYB -Comrade Asubiojo Success.
