Some people are born with innate leadership skills. Others develop these skills as they go through life. Regardless of how people become leaders, we know that each one of them is unique.
Sen. Echocho is a leader with unquestionable integrity:
Integrity is an essential trait for leaders which enables them to earn the trust of others. Leaders exhibit integrity by always doing what is right even if it is an unpopular decision.
They give proper credit for accomplishments and acknowledge their mistakes when they happen. They exhibit honesty and transparency in everything they do. Moreover, they inspire others to live a life with integrity as well.
Sen. Echocho is a leader with moral courage:
Leaders must have the courage to stand up for their convictions regardless of criticism, ridicule, or dissent. They must have the moral courage to inspire respect from those they lead. They should also be able to take responsibility for their actions.
Sen. Echocho is visionary leader:
Long before he joined politics, he had seen the need for human empowerment and capacity building. He exhibited these uncommon traits of leadership while in the banking industry, and outside of banking industry.
A trait that sets leaders apart from others is their ability to gauge the future and secure their place in it. Leaders understand that the world is continuously changing and take steps to evolve along with those changes.
Sen. Echocho is a leader with unusual passion for infrastructural developments
Passion enables leaders to achieve great things. Leaders know their purpose in life and are driven by passion to pursue this purpose. Not only that, but their passion also ignites other people’s passions and fuel their desire to succeed in whatever they do. His uncontrollable desire to building a better Kogi East is anchored on a natural trait of a leader.
Sen. Echocho is a leader with self-control and self-respect:
Without any iota of praise singing, over decades, I have carefully followed and reviewed the antecedents of Sen. Echocho, and found him worthy of having a strict personal discipline in his behaviors and lifestyle.
He is an effective communicator:
I have watched and listened to most of the presentations made by Sen. Echocho on the floor of the Senate. He communicates effectively, clearly, diplomatically and intelligently.
Sen. Echocho is a tool for empowerment:
True leaders strive to empower others and not merely have power over them. They have the ability to train and develop others. Instead of micro-managing, they trust the people they lead to make the right decisions to achieve their objectives. They empower others to act independently.
Finally, Sen. Echocho accepts constructive criticisms and respects others point of view:
It’s unusual to hear Sen. Echocho responding to constructive criticism, rather, he improves on his technocratic skills and respects people’s opinion.
Sen. Echocho has our mandate and support to represent our collective interest in the Red Chamber.
Let’s wholeheartedly work with Sen. Echocho.
Thank you.
