Avoiding Politics Will Lead To The Emergence of Bad Leaders – Makinde Warns Youths
Reported by Ayooluwa Afolabi
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has declared that bad leaders will continue to occupy the political space in the country if youths continue to avoid politics.
Makinde made this statement during the third convocation ceremony at Precious Cornerstone University in Ibadan on Monday.
The governor said there was a need for more ethical people to be involved in governance in the country.
Makinde, speaking on “Faith, Leadership, and Governance: Preparing the Next Generation for Ethical Leadership in Nigeria,” explained that the more unethical people continued to be in politics, the more the country would experience unethical governance, Daily Post reported.
He then used the opportunity to charge the graduating students to learn the ways of ethical leadership.
He said, “Most of you, because of what they have deposited in you, don’t want to stain your white garments and you want to avoid politics.
“The problem we have is that the less good people are trying to walk into governance, the more unethical people will continue to thrive. This is because nature would not allow a vacuum. If the good ones are not coming into that space, the space will be filled with unethical people.
“You need to decide the kind of leader you want to be and look around you for good examples of such leadership. Start imitating their ways and actions, which is very key.
Also, while surrounding yourself with quality people, you should learn to listen to good advice. You must have the capacity to listen.
“Ethical leaders know what true leadership means. They know it is about responsibility towards the broader community. That is why Oyo State will always put the people first”.
