Akwa Ibom News Online Commentary

Nigerians yawn for quality leadership. Leadership is neither a tea party adventure nor a jamboree. It entails making sacrifices, showing the way forward and having the shock-absorbing ability to tolerate and accommodate the human excess of the led. Leadership also involves inculcating exemplary conducts and not just mere precepts in others because a leader is most often viewed as the prism through which a state, community or organization is x-rayed. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has gotten the wherewithal to steer this country to the right direction. He has good judgment, good temperament, educational background and experience.

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, the world is watching us. We cannot afford to sing different tunes now. We should shun those things that tend to divide us and embrace the things that unite us--Goodluck. For anybody to lead or aspire to lead, he or she must first be a good follower. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has creditably demonstrated these qualities. Nigeria is enormously endowed and blessed by God and we ought to use these qualities to our advantage. Let us always place collective interest first and above personal consideration. This is the key to a sustainable, progressive, prosperous and united Nigeria . Let us always remember that united we stand and divided we fall. Most merciful and compassionate Almighty God, we thank you for the gift of this great nation, Nigeria , especially for her citizens – the diverse tribes and tongues and the ever-teeming population; for various precious minerals and fertile land. Eternal Father, may your Holy Name continue to be praised, glorified and adored forever in this land. We earnestly ask you to intervene more prominently in the attitude and lives of our people. Show us the way to your Truth by making our lives truthful, honest and sincere. Grant us an enduring peace so as to enhance prosperity and progress in our individual families and our Country at large.

Therefore, we ask all Nigerians to massively vote for Goodluck Jonathan on April 16, 2011 for Nigeria to continue to be relevant in the global scheme of things. It is only Goodluck that can bring good luck to Nigeria . He is the leader Nigeria needs NOW.
