Since his emergence and swearing-in as the Governor of Imo State, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha has been receiving some leadership nuggets from the erstwhile Governor of Anambra State as the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Vice Presidential candidate in the last general elections, Mr. Peter Obi.
Here, Obi advised Ihedioha on four things he must avoid to make a successful leadership for the State:
1. Don’t fly chartered jets. Don’t Waste IMO Money on Chartered Jets. Why pay for millions when you can pay N40,000 and get to your destination.
2. Office of First Lady, it cost millions to maintain that office and you can not afford it. IMO is in a mess. Your wife is the first lady of your house and heart, let her continue with her career.
3. Don’t turn Government house into a party house, those that want to drink should go to the bar.
4. Listen to those that criticise you, they are your best advisers. Always find out why they were criticising you.
Your predecessor leaves a debt of N100billion verified. But for free advice on debt management, I will recommend former governor of Cross River Lyle Imoke.
What do you think about Obi’s advice to Governor Ihedioha?
