EXPERIENCE COUNTS, SELFLESS IS A NATURAL VIRTUE: HON. (BARR.) ABAYOMI SHEBA.
BY PRINCESS EIGBOKHAN ORIH.
Greatness and the ability to become great in life resides in every human who takes the responsibility to exercise certain qualities and characters which is worthy of emulation through significant impact in any given society. In other words greatness is not limited to age, status and gender.
Great people are scattered all over the globe. Great minds are a visionary leader who knows how to turn unproductive situations into productivity. Who is good at raising champions and building confidence and trust through their way of life.
In my search for great leaders, as a result of the recent outcry by the “SORO SOKE GENERATION” for selfless leadership I came across a great philanthropist and a political leader from Ode-Irele, in Irele Local Government Area of Ondo state south west Nigeria.
An Experienced and selfless politician whose name reminds us of the smiles he placed on the faces of over 300 vulnerable women and families at Okitipupa/lrele Federal Constituency in Ondo state during the covid 19 lockdown and countless number of persons he has given hope to.
A man whose sense of empathy endears to the hearts of his people who constantly call to pray for him and thank him for the help he rendered. A man who understands the value of human life and seeks to constantly invest in human development and human capacity building.
His philanthropic assistance ranges from paying of school fees for the less privileged, providing job opportunities for the youths, provision of empowerment for the people, to financial assistances for needs such as medical bills.
As I sat down in wait for him; so as to ask him a few question about his journey in life, I noticed the consistency at which his phone kept ringing. I realized the urgency at which he picks these calls, the celestial charisma at which he attends to each person who called, his happiness when truly he could be of help and the sadness that is expressed on his face when he is unable to help.
Like he says to me when he apologizes “please excuse me; let me pick this call it is from my people at home please it might be urgent”. What a heart of meekness I must say.
At This moment I, drift and ponder on the Nigerian state with all its complex problems ranging from hunger, unemployment, lack of quality healthcare, dilapidated educational system, corruption, insecurity, tribalism, and so on.
Imagine if we had visionary leaders just like this great philanthropist working effortlessly towards improving our lives and livelihood.
Now imagine one man, who is not holding any political appointment either in House of Representatives or in the Senate responding to the needs of his people. Then it occurred to me that selflessness is a natural virtue to this great personality.
Just like every other community in Nigeria, the people of Okitipupa / lrele Federal Constituency have also yearned for quality leadership, accountability, developmental policies, good governance and so much more.
All these qualities are achieved when an individual is tested and has proven to have experience; after all, Experience they say is the “best teacher”.
In Okitipupa / lrele Federal Constituency where various leaders has emerged and shown the extent of their professionalism; one leader stands out and fits the epitome and embodiment of greatness, quality leadership, accountability, tested, experienced and selfless. I can say this for sure because, the standard he has raised towards giving back to the society is beyond the bar in our today politics. Let me unveil the identity of the man whose humanitarian integrity has given hope to the hopeless and gladness to the sadden heart.
