Open Letter to Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, By Rev. David Ugolor

 

Dear Governor Obaseki,

As you approach the end of your tenure, I hope this letter finds you in good spirits and health. I write to you not only as a concerned citizen of Edo State but also as someone who believes in the power of leadership that is both reflective and honest.

Your time in office has been marked by significant achievements as well as challenges. As you prepare for the handover, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on your journey. It is essential to acknowledge that leadership is a continuous learning process, and owning up to both successes and mistakes can be invaluable for those who will follow in your footsteps.

Being transparent about what went right and what went wrong during your administration will serve as an important lesson for the next governor. It will not only help them navigate the complexities of governance but will also foster a culture of accountability and honesty within our political landscape.

I urge you to communicate openly with the people of Edo State. Share your insights and experiences, and explain the challenges you faced and the decisions you made. This openness will help build trust and encourage the next leader to approach governance with a clearer understanding of our state’s needs.

Moreover, as you hand over the reins, consider offering your support and guidance to your successor. Encourage them to learn from your experiences, both positive and negative. This collaborative spirit can pave the way for a more united and progressive Edo State.

In conclusion, as you take this time to reflect, I hope you will embrace the opportunity to share your journey with Edo people. Your honesty and willingness to learn from your tenure can inspire not only the next governor but also all of us who are committed to the progress of our beloved state.

Thank you for your service, and I wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Rev. David Ugolor
