By Bobai Victor Mathew

"A hero is no brave than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer" -Ralph Weldo Emerson

The above definition clearly defines Sani Sidi, gubernatorial hopeful. He displays braveness in plying the Birnin Gwari road which is marred with insecurity by unknown gunmen and kidnappers. Many lives were lost on Birnin Gwari road and many families rendered homeless in Birnin Gwari.

The atrocities in Birnin Gwari by these hoodlum have made Birnin Gwari a no go area. Recently motorists and travelers who usually ply the Birnin Gwari road have changed their route because of the insecurity on that road and Birnin Gwari at large.

Yesterday , Wednesday 12th September, 2018, Mohammad Sani Sidi (OFR), the former Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and gubernatorial hopeful of the PDP visited Brinin Gwari amidst the insecurity, despite warning from love ones,political associates not to go to Brinin Gwari because of the situation that characterize recent happenings on that road.

Only a brave, bold and fearless man could do what Mohammad Sani Sidi did. This display of fearlessness and boldness can only be liken to heroism.

Sani demonstrated remarkable leadership qualities:

As a man of peace.
His appearance clearly Show's a powerful presence and disarmed enemies with this heroic act .

He showed the Birnin Gwari people how much he cares and what true leadership looks like.

He was positive, thinking about what the people were subjected to due to bad administration.
Sani is a visionary leader and could see the big picture by direct assessment.
Sani visits clearly focused on goals and a mission beyond himself.
He showed grit and determination.
He is indeed a humble leader PDP must trust with her guber mandate.

I could see how the people of Brinin Gwari were amazed as to seeing him in their midst without being accompanied by heavy security agents as it is the routine of some aspirants whenever they're embarking on such visit.

They described this singular act as heroism, that it's only one who is fearless and patriotic that could take this risk.

The people were happy because Sidi has sacrificed his life to come and commiserate with them over their lost. And because he is the only one that took the risk to come and commiserate with them among all the gubernatorial aspirants, they tag him as a hero and assured him of their votes and prayers.
