Criterion for Presidential Candidates in Nigeria

"A man should never be appointed to a managerial position if his vision focuses on people’s weaknesses rather than on their strengths. The man who always knows what people cannot do, but never sees what they can do, will undermine the spirit of the organisation. Of course, a manager should have a clear grasp of the limitations of his people, but he should see these as limitations on what they can do, and as a challenge to them to do better."

Leading is just like being a manager. Most cynics stand by and think that our politicians are corrupt. They have the mindset of saviours, and will always meet head bouts in power struggles. That I know. He who can work with the weakness of people in mind and harness the best from them is the best leader for Nigeria. We should screen our presidential candidates with this criterion.

Good leaders must run very open government and respond to genuine public interests. This is why any good leader must support freedom of information within the law. Has the President Jonathan responded to public interests? Are we able to query the high and mighty on moral issues in governance? Can due process and financial impropriety be investigated? Is there equity for the common man. Do Nigerians resist corruption and despise it?????? Answer these questions.
