The character of the Leader is essential, and necessary in shaping the overall outlook of leadership. It is the all important kick required for action. When it is arbitrary, the action follows suit, when it is deliberate, measurable and disciplined, it sets the tone for a major paradigm shift that turns around the course of history.
The recent moves by various Soludo support groups is a positive evolution in our political process. For the first time, we are witnessing productive transformation of support groups from agents of political grandstanding to Champions of progressive development.
First, was Youths Earnestly Support Soludo (YESS) Anambra, a group of young Progressives modelling a life after the ideals of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo. So far, the group has enrolled over a hundred of her members into the Anambra State Health Insurance scheme. Today, testimonies of how systems work under a well structured class action is rife amongst the group. This is plus a thriving cooperative of locally made household wares produced by its members and sold to generate profit for self sustenance and improved livelihood.
The Advanced Development Solutions Initiative (ADSI) has been birthed from the Anambra Demand Soludo (ADS) support group, with a selfdriven mandate of raising 500million Naira that will be invested into Agriculture and other related areas expected to create about 100,000 jobs in the long run.
The Soludo Support Group (SSG) only recently, launched a membership welfare scheme to cater for members through Enterpreneurship, Sports and Skill acquisition. As at today, and in the next four years, every Soludo Support group has taken ownership of the task ahead. Indeed, governance is 95% of the work. There has to be a time when politics must take the back seat. For this to happen, the Leader must stand tall and busy himself with the task of governance.
This task, for all Soludo Apostles, is to build a Liveable and Prosperous Smart Mega City.
Come Work with Soludo!
