Leadership is an important concept in any society because it co-ordinates the society to ensure that the order is maintained for everyone to have it good in terms of reaping the results of sheer managerial intelligence and know-how of a leader who would properly manage the resources for the sake of humanity.
Having studied to admiration, the life of the Sardaunan Gombe, Dr Jamil Isyaka Gwamna, I see in him a leader of substance by all attributes in nature and nurture; in view of his consistent exemplary act of galvanising human developments that cut across gender and age. He is a leader with all the good attributes of selflessness, integrity, loyalty, compassion, generosity and humility.
Dr Gwamna is widely believed to be a self-styled leader whose zeal rich at creating platforms for others to grow and fulfill their God-given talents so that the world would be a better place.
As 2019 creeps in and leaders becoming politically athletic and consciously generous, we must remind ourselves as people, of the need to have the round peg in a round hole if we hope to sustain the developmental joy that our gorgeous Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo has engineered in the last seven years. The man to beat is Sardaunan Gombe. He is capable and charismatically equipped to manage the resources of the state to guarantee a better life for the good people of Gombe. He is an empire of wisdom and a temple of humility. His magnetic personality could be harnessed to attract investors from all over to affect the economy of the state positively. He has been routinely critiqued and found worthy of public trust and his lifestyle of generosity has made him a role model for the youths in Gombe.
We are aware that people are also vying for the same political office as Dr Jamil Isyaka Gwamna (JIG). Yes, people matter in governance but some matter a lot more than others and that is where JIG comes in. He is one leader that matter a whole lot because he has over the years made the matter of his people a matter to his heart and as it is said you reap what you sow; it is no surprise that the good people of Gombe has seen JIG as a round peg in a round hole.
The teeming farmers who have been assisted with grants are amongst multiple testifiers of his generosity and good works scattered across the state. This reflects his interest in agriculture. Knowing full well that Gombe is an agrarian state, the Sardauna as a business man of repute would make the Savannah jewel an agricultural business zone of Nigeria.
JIG is a better, genuine, transformational, authentic and socially desirable public leader whose charisma has become the hallmark of what and how the 21st Century leader of any state or nation should be.
