WHEN HUMILITY BECOMES A TRADE MARK: THE IKENNA NICHOLAS UKWA EXAMPLE

As the bell for the commencement of political campaigns rings, various politicians and their groups, will be desirous to kickstart their campaign programs on strong notes. The agenda of the months of preparations, consultations and meetings, will obviously come to play. Also, it is hoped that adequate machinery have been put in place to ensure seamless deployment of men and materials at the appropriate measures in order that the expected goals are achieved. That is politics. Infact, clearly speaking, the days of desk top and arm chair writing and defiling of the art of clasical writing, are totally over. It is time for an on-the-spot presentation of accounts of happenstances of the activities of the various camps that each ‘media corps’ represents.

But in all the busy preparations of the campaign arsenals, one thing that has almost and at all times been found lacking, is the attitudinal approach and presentation of the messages that come with the campaign tools. As a matter of fact, just as there must be adequate preparations in areas of mobilizations and logistics, so also, must adequate attentions be paid to packaging and delivery of the campagn languages by the various principals. Here lies the burden of who good handlers are.

Humility, must be an unavoidable weapon with which handlers must equip the candidate. Humility is a core attribute in human relations. It is a strong indicator in mass communications. It is an essentsl element while at the public domain. It defines the man and his character.

Very fortunately, we have these beautiful and sound attributes in the man Ikenna Nicholas Ukwa. He has demonstrated the attribute of hunility with unmitigated candour in many fora. He lavishly displays that in his speeches and his actions. He has crystaly shown his capacity to remain calm in the face of obvious pressure and he has never betrayed any emotions.

As we therefore prepare to hit the road for our MOTHER OF ALL campaigns, zig-zagging through the length and breadth of this vast Federal Constituency, there are no doubts that these unparalleled attributes will be uncommonly showcased. Ikenna Nicholas Ukwa will not only in the most lucid manner, present his previous scorecard, he wil unleash the contents of his actions packed and wel articulated manisfesto to his constituents with dignifying humility. That will be the climax of the months of his meticulous preparations.

Let the campaigns therefore begin!
