What stands a legend out is not just knowing what is wrong and knowing what needs to be done, but having the wherewithal and core-competencies to do the needful.
Many have got to public office, either as legislators or executives, without knowing what to do to right the wrongs. Most of the ones who know don’t have the experience to initiate the process of reinventing the polity.
Dr. Adewale Kola Kareem stands out like a sore thumb in this instance for the position of Governor of the pacesetter state.
He is not just a bundle of ambition but a man with a vision of the required policies to make the good things better and turn around the ones that are not so good.
He has, over the years, garnered experience and acquired expertise globally. These experiences cannot impact on the people without being made available to the local people. That requires a global vision with a local focus.
Dr. Kareem’s exposure to the working systems of various successful countries and continents has broadened his understanding of development and leadership, enhancing his knowledge in the style of leadership and the deserved development in the state.
