Governance  has evolved over time, and as the dynamics of  society continue to change, new leadership styles and approaches become imperative if we must aspire to strike a  balance between good governance and development.

Where a leader stands in the face of challenges is what defines him.

In today's rapidly changing and complex business environment, traditional leadership styles may no longer be sufficient to effectively guide teams and organizations. One leadership approach that has gained significant attention and recognition is transformational leadership. This leadership style focuses on inspiring and challenging followers to reach their full potential and achieve common goals. It is a powerful tool for motivating and driving change within organizations. It  goes beyond the conventional role of a leader as a manager or supervisor. It is about creating a shared vision and empowering others to bring about positive change.  A transformational leader is not just concerned with immediate goals and outcomes, but also with the personal growth and development of their followers. This leadership style emphasizes the importance of trust, collaboration, and open communication. Understanding and driving the dynamics of   transformational leadership is one major

Over the years, we have been under the crushing weight of inadequate governance and dearth of creative social and economic remedies which consequently have exacerbated our pains and trials. The people have been yearning for good governance--- governance built around collective aspirations. Regrettably, this has remained a mirage as betrayed promises compete with squandered hopes. Caught in the vortex of this quagmire, a man has emerged in Edo political space whose records have stirred the people's hope for a better tomorrow. His name is Dorry Okojie.With him, good  governance is assured .He is not just concerned about the process of measuring how public institutions conduct public affairs and manage public resources, but most importantly he is committed to   guaranteeing  the realization of human rights and managing public patrimony in a manner essentially free of abuse and corruption and with due regard for the rule of law. A State  Governor in a federation, like Niger

(Dr) Dorry Afe Efosa Okojie is one of  the groups of "Home Boys" a saying in Edo local parlance, which means one who is part and parcel of the people.  He was born, breed and grew up among his people in Benin City. He attended his Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools in Benin City and made a lot of friends and acquaintances in the process and  has remained bonded with these his Edo brothers and sisters wherever their search for greener pastures have taken them. Dorry Okojie has a good understanding of the prospects in Edo State and the challenges of Edo people--the men, women, young and old.  He has a high knowledge of the economic prospects in the state and as a major player in the private sector who has been involved in high flying projects, he knows the strings to pull to bring in investments that will create jobs for the youths and provide the needed economic stimulus to cater for the needs of the elderly, the youths, women, rural dwellers and the indigents.

The sweetness of political promises is not a guarantee that implementation is assured. What determines implementation can be found in the character content of those making political promises. A man without character may have the gift of sweet tongue to make promises, when in reality the intention and competence to drive and accomplish such promises are in severe deficit. When therefore we say Dorry Okojie is defined by actions, the message is clear-- that his promises are not for fun or vote catching devices. He has demonstrated evidence, in many spheres of engagements, that he has that rare character content to weave promises into action and deliver same for the good of society and expand the space  of development in all sectors of Edo State. Dorry Okojie has courage, which is a trait of a good leader. Rather than giving excuses for problems or lamenting in the face of challenges, he has proven that the right option is to step up action and move things in the right directi

As the search continues on who to succeed the present Governor of Edo State in 2024, it has become imperative that the personality in focus must be humane, accessible, a bridge between the young and old and possesses the ability to create wealth for the state and manage same prudently. This is where (Dr) Dorry Okojie's name comes in.  He  has what it takes to move Edo State to higher heights, post 2024.  (Dr) Dorry Okojie  has the technical and intellectual ability to grow both human and natural  resources of Edo State,  that will enhance the people's ability to create wealth for themselves. His competence in  exploring new areas of revenue generation will engineer his drive for all round infrastructural  development. With these, increasing the Gross Domestic Product of the State becomes a categorical assurance. He has demonstrated this in the private sector where he has grown his estate business  from the scratch to an international property conglomerate. (Dr) Dorr

Every nation of the world has its sizeable  share of humane, selflessly empathetic individuals who are  preoccupied with solutions to the challenges of their generation and  mankind. While majority of others are driven by self serving tendencies, these few  individuals are preoccupied with rendering selfless services that engender love and  unity, thereby fostering the overall wellbeing and upliftment of others. These  are lovers of mankind. These  are patriots who put the love of nation and humanity over and above self and every other primordial considerations. They are  nation builders without whom national growth are but conflicting illusion to be pursued but never attained. They are God sent. They epitomize  humility, unassuming in their greatness and splendor .  They are formidably fortified with  brains and brawns. The above commendable virtues aptly define and illustrates the personae of Dr Dorry Okojie Simple, soft spoken,  unassumingly  humane, not given to arrogan

"The Beautiful Ones Are Not Yet Born" is a novel by a Ghanaian writer, Ayi Kwei Armah, wherein he  expresses his disgust on the situation prevalent in Ghana  during its first republic . With months melting into weeks and weeks into days-- moving us faster than expected towards 2024, is there any hope that a beautiful one will emerge to reset Edo State for sustainable development in juxtaposition with expansion of current efforts.?  Beautiful one, in this context means a leader that understands Edo State and the needs of the people.One that has no pretended attitude towards our desires, wishes and aspirations; one that understands that the distribution of social and economic advantages is verged on fairness, inclusivity,  equity and justice. We don't need to search too far and hard to see the beautiful one that is coming.  He is (Dr) Efosa Dorry Okojie.

A nation can be a democracy without the people enjoying the benefits of democratic leadership.This happens when a leader feels he alone knows it all, and consequently treats any suggestion that differs from his own position as antagonistic and rebellious. Unique problem- solving processes, creative solutions and innovative ideas which are needed to drive development are better harvested under democratic leadership. And what is democratic leadership? It is a leadership style that guarantees participative conversation in decision making process--- listening to and allowing the people/ groups being led to have a say in governance. Dorry Okojie has the qualities of a democratic leader-- one of which is a listening ear which promotes a wide range of ideas from the people-- and from these ideas navigates ways to develop and execute plans for the good of all. This will help to grease the engine of his cardinal objectives he is bringing to the table for a greater Edo. As a goo

The American Poet Edwin Markham stated, "There is a destiny which makes us brothers; none goes his way alone" The desire to serve and give to society, which expresses our common humanity, is found in compassionate people who want to make the world a better place. As the race for Edo2024 continues to open new chapters of interests and calculations, it is imperative that we acknowledge the fact it is only compassionate leadership that can ensure that the needs of the people come first as the centrepiece of governance. It is no longer in doubt that more people are seeking to be connected to Dorry Okojie and identify with him because they are seeing his passion for service through his deeds. This is leadership. Dorry Okojie knows and acknowledges that Edo is one--a community linked by common interests and facing common challenges in welfare services and infrastructures delivery. And because he is compassionate, with honesty of intentions, there is assurance that

"If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” The reality of this proverb has led to a paradigm shift in the ways and manner many Western aid organisations have been moving away from giving charity in developing countries, and are now promoting self-reliance in sustainable programmes.  Dr Dorry Afe Efosa Okojie has been involved in teaching a lot of Edo youths how to fish so that they will have fish all their life. However, Okojie does not just teach the youths how to fish, but also gives them fish during their tutelage of how to fish until they perfect the act of fishing so that they don't go hungry until they are able to fish. Dorry Okojie has been teaching Edo youths how to fish both in Nigeria and outside the shores of the country. The amazing thing about all these is that he does these empowerments quietly without publicity in his belief that when the right hand is giving, the left hand should not

The paradox of Nigerian  governance architecture is the disgusting spectacle of a man at the bank of a river and yet washing his hands with spittle. If we make the right democratic choice in Edo 2024, the resources available in the State will be used to give life a meaning to the people.  And that choice is Dorry Okojie. He is in the race and his victory will be a historic and unprecedented unlocking of the potentials that abound in Edo State-- for all round development. Agriculture will move from mere soapbox  entertainment in rhetorics and political sing song, to practical tilling of  the vast arable land  for foodstuffs production, wealth creation and food security. This will be preceded by heavy investment in rural roads infrastructures-- thus stirring investors' interest and enthusiasm in commercial farming. The assurance that this is not a mere promise is the fact that Dorry Okojie is a man who has earned a reputation for  working  his talk. Let's join hands a

Leadership is instrumental in social change. Overcoming social problems,  modernizing institutions of governance  and abolishing social inequalities have been impossible without the right kind of leadership. The level of respect Countries or  States command and enjoy in the comity of human society, depends on the kind of leaders they have. Leaders with exceptional credentials of patriotic commitment to social and economic wellbeing of their countries/ states are needed to put human face on governance. Dorry Okojie meets these requirements. It is the reason he stands out among those in the race for Edo2024.He will provide good governance. Good governance, defined from the context of ensuring welfare and security of the people can only thrive on responsible and responsive leadership--- which Dorry Okojie is trusted to dispense to Edo people. He will work for the  good of the Edo people, respect the people’s voice, create a positive and happy society, and keep the people motiv
