Governance

A Governor is a visionary. He comes into power with an agenda which we assume should be good for the Governed. He needs advisors to show him the consequence of each decision line he takes but they do not govern for him. Since he has a vision it is his duty to ensure that they share in that vision. That way they play an executive and not a directive role. An advise can be taken or rejected. It can come from both young or old. It should be looked for in both and not accepted because it is assumed to be synonymous with old age. However the problem I envisage with elderly advise is this: I have seldom seen an elderly person taking instructions from a younger person in our african traditional society and this gives me great concern for Imo State because If the elders in owelle's advisory cabinet play a directive role and the Governor an executive one, then the question becomes: who is actually governing Imo State. Wisdom is found in the most obscure places. It has nothing to do with age. Good advise comes from true wisdom. And God places it in locations that elude those
who have the adjective "wise" attached to them.
