An Eagle Figure Is Needed As The Next Mayor of Umuahia North: Not A Prattling Parrot
The eagle is full of beauty and strength, full of grace, with the highest soaring speed and super sight intelligence that could spot an object from about 30-kilometers away. Amongst other birds, the eagle is the champion of the airspace. Yet, we can hardly describe the sound of an eagle. But virtually all of us can even mimic the sounds of an average parrot and other “talkative birds” of low grades and low capacities, but which are well known for noise making.
It is long settled axiom that the test of literacy and true intelligence is not in the ability of a person to speak English language or speak any particular language for that matter. But it lies in one’s ability to think creatively, take informed decisions, solve and prevent problems with minimal cost. Proficiency and eloquence in speaking any language can be acquired through association, and not necessarily by formal education.
By Mr Kingsley Okonkwo’s nature, he is an Introvert. A very humble, but truly calm and calculated personality who is not disposed to talking too much. An average introvert is a naturally shy and reserved person, and that is exactly who Kingsley Okonkwo is. He is not a noise maker. But a calm and calculated goal getter with aura of humility, and intellectually loaded with transformative policy ideas that will reposition Umuahia North across all the sectors. He is already communicating his manifesto to the party stalwarts and the grassroots through his consultation messages at movements, through social media influencers, and mainstream media platforms.
When a stammering or an introvert person is quiet or not talking eloquently and voraciously, that is not to say that he is empty or bereft of ideas. It does not render him incapable of articulating or performing his policy vision. He is simply not naturally disposed to talking. Rather, he believes in expressing his vision both in writing, and practically demonstrating them through informed policy actions. This is exactly what Mr Kingsley Okonkwo represents. As a very humble man that he is, the pragmatic Kingsley is going about his consultations in his own style without violating the provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and those of the Electoral Act, and without descending into any form of pettiness. He is eminently qualified within the parameters of law for the office of a Mayor of Umuahia North the State Capital City.
