*QUOTE: \u201cManagement is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things\u201d-Peter F. Drucker, author and educator<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>*By Dr. George Elijah Otumu, Executive Editor & Group Managing Director, NAIJA STANDARD NEWSPAPER INC USA Media Group<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

IN a nation of over 230 million people, imbued with immense human and mineral resources by the creator, most homes in Nigeria cannot boast of a three-square meal a day, stable electricity supply and the bulk of the masses go to bed hungry on empty stomach wondering why they have to face these difficulties and realities with no end in sight in Africa\u2019s most populous black nation. From housing, to having a good paying job, surviving the harsh economy, the present unpleasant situation in the country makes people wonder aloud: \u201chow did we get here as a nation?\u201d. A famous philosopher, Roy T. Bennett, in his Inspirational Thoughts for Living Your Best Life documentary titled \u2018The Light in the Heart\u2019 gave an insight when he said: \u201cNever lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever.\u201d As such, the political machinery of African Democratic Congress, ADC, a major opposition party in Nigeria is well positioned, came readily to offer meaningful life for the people as led by Nigeria\u2019s former Vice President, and Presidential Candidate of the ADC, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, with his appointment of ex-Nigeria\u2019s Transport Minister, Alhaji Yusuf Suleiman, a highly educated Royal Price of Sokoto Caliphate and high chief \u2018Dan Amar Sokoto\u2019 as Director General, Administration, Finance & Logistics for the ADC Presidential Campaign Council in the 2027 election. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Based on each political party manifestos in Nigeria, feedbacks from many quarters confirm as at today, it is ONLY the ADC that profoundly understands the pain and suffering of the general populace, and it is ready to put an end to it by offering humane, quality amenities for the masses. For this reason, Suleiman appointment in this role is timely to ensure data analysis driven administrative, seamless financial policy and detailed logistics operations ahead in 2027 elections. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a press statement thoroughly vetted by Atiku, signed by Phrank Shaibu, Director, Strategic Communication, ADC Presidential Campaign Council & Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication to Atiku Abubakar, Vice President of Nigeria 1999-2007 & Presidential Candidate of the ADC in a bid to maintain people-driven policies in realities to the overwhelming challenges Nigerians are facing daily, he approved the much-awaited campaign structure to confront headlong the perennial high cost of food prices, transport costs and shrinking incomes, by asking for the masses\u2019 trust in a disciplinary manner.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The statement reads that Kashim Ibrahim-Imam will chair the Council, with Nasir El-Rufai as Deputy Chairman. Senator Austin Akobundu will serve as Director-General and Campaign Manager, responsible for turning strategy into coordinated action.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Six Deputy Directors-General will lead the operational directorates, working with 30 Directors assigned specific responsibilities. Yusuf Suleiman, Heads Administration, Finance & Logistics while Dele Momodu will head Media and Communications, and Senator Dino Melaye will lead Contact and Mobilisation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mohammed Hayatudeen will chair the Policy Team, working with Professor Mohammed Sagagi and other members, including Professor Kingsley Moghalu, to develop practical answers to the problems Nigerians have put before us. John Oyegun will chair the Campaign Advisory Board.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Phrank stated that \u201cThis is a structure built for work. Every directorate has a duty. Every director has an assignment. Every appointee must account for results.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our measure of success will be how clearly, we address the cost of living, unemployment, insecurity and declining purchasing power-and how effectively we organise to make Nigeria affordable again.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

*Core Focus Areas of the ADC Policy Blueprint:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

*Cost of Living & Purchasing Power: <\/strong>Direct focus on reducing soaring food prices, transportation costs, and energy tariffs to ease economic hardship for ordinary Nigerians.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

*Economic Revitalization: <\/strong>Proposes a production-driven economy, job creation for youths, and bridging the wealth gap through strategic resource management and private sector involvement.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

*Security: <\/strong>Prioritizes comprehensive strategies to end banditry, terrorism, and kidnapping, linking the root causes of insecurity to youth unemployment and poverty.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

*Governance & Inclusion: <\/strong>Emphasizes people-centred governance, transparent public resource management, and greater inclusion for women, youths, and persons with disabilities (PWDs).<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reacting to this latest development, all the way from Austin, Texas, at the International Headquarters of Nigerian American Press Association, NAPA, Professor Stalwart Kleyn, Board Chairman of the media body issued a press release which reads, in part: <\/strong>\u201cThe Editorial Board of NAPA, being the largest convergence of 50 online editors representing mainstream newspapers, newsmagazines, broadcast media outfits in the United States and Nigeria collectively endorsed the timely appointment of Nigeria\u2019s former Transport Minister, Yusuf Suleiman by the ex-Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the ADC, Atiku Abubakar as a round peg in a round hole. He is a technocrat and a business magnate. We believe Suleiman\u2019s unparalleled acumen will serve as an additional virtue to the collective economic drive of this political party in providing better lives for the Nigerian masses\u201d.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Suleiman holds a BSc degree in business administration from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (1986) and MBA (1989) from the same university. He attended the Harvard University Flagship course on privatization, the public Enterprises management program in 1995. He was also at the Kellogg School of Management\u2019s Executive Development program in (2002), Harvard University Kennedy School\u2019s senior managers in Government Program (2001), University of Virginia Darden Graduate School of Business program on managing critical resources (2002), Cambridge Academy of Transport Shipping Insurance Course (2002), Kellogg Graduate school of Management Certificate in the soul of Leadership Program (2003).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
