MACAIRE, LEADER WITH A DIFFERENCE.

Brad Szollose, a recognized thought leader, entrepreneur and renown public speaker said and i quote, "if you want the key to success, start by doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing". This is exactly what Obong Emmanuel Ukpong-udo (Macaire) has done as a political entity.

Since the inception of the current episode of Democratic dispensation in Nigeria, the people of Ikono/Ini federal constituency have had leaders but none can match the positive qualities that Macaire possesses.

 As the political leader of Ikono, he has proven wrong the speculations and general belief that those who aspire for political positions in Nigeria do so to aggrandize their pockets.

I am not being sycophantic as some may think, because i know that sycophantic culture is the canker worm of our political progress, rather i am someone that have heard and seen what macaire is doing for people within and outside his constituency.

No wonder Orrin Woodward, one of the top ranked leadership and management experts in the world said and i quote " average leaders raise the bar on themselves, good leaders raise the bar for others, great leaders inspires others to raise their own bars". 

Macaire has inspired and empowered the young and old, male and females, rich and poor.

I am sure that this is one of the major reasons the good people of Ikono/Ini are happy that finally a genuine leader has surfaced and the good people of his constituency(including those outside his political class/party) are pleading with him to climb up the ladder and bring back the lost political influence of the cradle of Ibibio land.

I am not surprised by this gesture from his good people because Brian Tracey said, "become the kind of leader that people would follow voluntarily, even if you had no title or position.

Therefore, i join all well meaning people of Ikono/Ini to appeal to you to climb the political ladder come 2019.
