Also Wondered about Uche Nwosu's "I Have Come Work" mantra?


If you are amongst the people who have wondered why Uche Nwosu chose the "I Have Come to Work" mantra since Rescue Missionaries strongly believe that Governor Okorocha have done so much work, you are not alone. Someone who lives in the UK is also wondering why. 
However, Onwuasoanya Jones has an explanation for everyone.

Read what he wrote below:

WHAT OTHER WORK IS UCHE NWOSU COMING TO DO?

ONWUASOANYA FCC JONES

A friend who is in the UK for his postdoctoral research woke me up this morning with a call, that got longer than the usual. He is one of those friends who would not join issues with you in public, but would always take time to chat you up privately on issues he is not very comfortable with, especially, as they affect your public opinions and political decisions.

Today, Chima took me up on the "I HAVE COME TO WORK" campaign mantra of Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, the winner of the Governorship Direct Primary Election of the All Progressives Congress in Imo State. He thinks it is an inappropriate slogan. "If Owelle has worked so hard and so well in the last eight years, as you have consistently argued, what other work is Uche Nwosu coming to do?" He queried. For him, it would have been more appropriate if Uche was promising to come to share joy to the people. "After work, its merriment. Owelle has worked, Uche is coming to ensure merriment." He further suggested.

Chima, like me, is of the Creative Arts in his academic research endeavors. But as a scholar, he delves into other areas of research, including leadership issues, policy formation and politics. There is however, a fundamental principle of leadership which he obviously missed in his understanding of the "I HAVE COME TO WORK" mantra. Leadership is nothing but work, and there is no end to work in leadership. A leader who isn't coming to work, doesn't understand what leadership is all about.

It is the thinking of leadership scholars that Uche Nwosu's campaign slogan is the best, so far, in the present political season. While others went for slogans that either sound overused or too vague, Uche Nwosu defined his manifesto in very simple five words. What every citizen desires, is a leader who will work, because a leader who works, will create jobs, improve infrastructure, create wealth and ensure a working system that benefits all. Work is the encapsulation of what good governance is all about, and this is exactly what Imolites most desire at this time in the history of the State.

To work, is the driving force behind Uche Nwosu's ambition to govern Imo State. It is a major secret behind his popularity among Imo people of all classes and persuasions. Those who wish Imo well, wish her a working State, which entails an improvement of what is on ground, to make the State continually better. Yes, Governor Okorocha has worked, but there is always work to be done. Even the most advanced countries in the world, still crave working leaders. There is never a point in leadership where the call is for merriment, because there will always be work to be done. A completely developed State is in Utopia, and in Utopia, there is no need for leadership.

By the time, the campaign ban is lifted for governorship candidates, Uche Nwosu shall unveil a WORK PLAN for the continued development and growth of Imo State. In that document, a four years plan for the Continuity of the good works, Consolidation of the good policies and Correction of the mistakes of the present and past shall be presented to Imolites in simple words that will be understandable to the peasant in Ejemekwuru and to the don in Owerri.
