PUT ON YOUR SEAT BELT!!!So many of my friends ask me on which side of the political divide do I fall into? My answer is that there are no political divides in Nigeria as that concept would be referring to the Right, Left, Center, Center Right, Center Left and as many of such categories that follow ideological leanings in western political thought and practice. I am as such on the fence, more for lack of choice than for lack of position. When there are no positions, what you get are accidental groupings that disintegrate as soon as differential interests manifest. In our jungle democracy what obtains actually is a concentration on winning elections. The consequence is that winning elections become the ends and not the means of democracy. Having lost out in seeking ideological leanings reflected in party structures, I am now a candidate-driven democrat. Pat Utomi is one person that Nigerians need as a matter of urgency. May be you are yet to know him.
If you have never believed me, this is your last chance to believe that a revolution is going on in Nigeria. The chief revolutionary is Prof. Pat Utomi. Pat is full of humanity, he is a man who through diligence and hard work earned for himself the admiration of all value driven Nigerians and even those who hate him for not trading the 'usual road' of unholy compromise, acknowledge that here is the man for today's Nigeria. When others are busy buying crowds in the big stadium, Pat is in the villages talking with the deprived, he is found among the market women encouraging and learning from them. When others float NGOs to seek government patronage, Pat is building a Center for Values in Leadership to make sure that my mindset and yours is not infected by the diseases of our villains past and present. When others are musing about creating ministries to take care of Niger Delta, Pat is busy constructing a road map in which the Niger Delta people will work themselves out of the situation. When others are buying and stock piling arms for elections, Pat is building the army of servant-leaders in the street, servant leaders in the schools, servant leaders in businesses, servant leaders in government, servant leaders among musicians, actors and actresses. He is the man who knows that everybody is a leader and that factor underlies every sincere approach to development.
The shepherd looks for his sheep and not vice versa. For those in Nigerian politics today the reverse is exactly the same. I bet you, Pat has gone to rural areas to look for his sheep because for a nation whose 75% of its population live in rural areas, mounting rallies in the cities and paying crowds marks the laziness of those who seek to shepherd to look for their sheep. Pat found me and I am sure he will also find you. ECCO LA MIA PREFERENZA!!! (ITALIAN)BEHOLD MY PREFERENCE. BUT BUT BUT: WE ARE THE ACTORS NOT THE SPECTATORS. VOTE FOR PAT UTOMI, CAMPAIGN FOR PAT UTOMI, HE WILL PAY YOU BACK BY GIVING BACK THE POWER TO YOU AND I. HE IS THE FACE OF A NEW NIGERIA
