The Symposium organized by the Plateau State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Alex Ladan Foundation has been adjudged as successful by participants and invitees, who attended the occasion.
The occasion, which is centered on look at how Purposeful and Visionary Leadership can be reestablished in Plateau State and the country at large had Four (4) basic objectives and was attended by “Who is Who” in the PDP, among others.
Key among the attendees were, Sen. Jonah Jang, Sir Fidelis Tapgun, Hon. D. T. Sango, Hon. Timothy Golu, Hon. Emmanuel Go’ar, among other distinguished members of the PDP in the state, alongside members of the Caretaker Committee of the party, led by Sen. Tunde Ogbeha, as Chief Host.
In their welcome addresses, the President of Alex Ladan Foundation, Mr. Alex Ladan, and the Chairman of the PDP’s Caretaker Committee, Sen. Ogbeha, told the invitees that the Symposium is aimed at exposing who, how and why, Plateau State and the country at large are suffering from poor leadership and the way forward that the PDP should adopt to free the citizens from the syndrome.
In his remarks, Mr. Alex disclosed that, among the objectives of the Symposium are the need to critically assess the problem of leadership and to trace the historical trajectory of how Plateau state and the country at large became failures in leadership.
The Keynote Speaker, Distinguished Prof. Yusufu Turaki, who was introduced by Rev. Ishaya Inuwa, in his keynote remarks said, “Nigeria did not come to be what we have dream of. It lacks patriotism.
“Nigerian Constitution and Statues, exist only on papers, as it does not reflect any of the elements that makes the country. We lack national ethics and ideology.
“Nigeria is more divided than ever. It is a failing state. Its conflicts and violence are caused by forces of indiscipline. Something therefore, needs to be done to bring her back from dissolution. What would bring her back is good leadership and ethics.
“We need to have Visionary and Purposeful Leaders. We therefore, must talk about people, who practice leadership and hold them accountable. Leadership can never be bad but the person in the position of leadership. It is either the outcome of his practice is bad or good”.
Others, who contributed on this line of thinking were, Da. Jonah David Jang, Sir, Fidelis Tapgun, Hon. D.T. Sango, Olivia Dazyem Esq, and Hon. Emmanuel Magni
In an “on the spot interview” with some invitees, REALITY is told that, “the impact of the Symposium was positive than expected and that more knowledge have been gained to push the quest of regime change for the benefit of the people of Plateau state and the citizenry at large.
