Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, has gained a reputation for being an inclusive leader who sees everyone around him as one. This is a commendable quality, especially in the highly polarized world of politics.
Shaibu’s inclusive approach can be attributed to his humble background and his personal values. Having grown up in a relatively modest family, he understands the struggles faced by ordinary people and identifies with their aspirations. This has shaped his belief in equality and treating everyone with respect, regardless of their social or political affiliations.
One of the key reasons why Shaibu sees everyone around him as one is his commitment to the vision of a united and prosperous Edo State. He believes that progress can only be achieved when people work together, putting aside their differences and focusing on common goals. This belief has guided him in building bridges and fostering collaboration among various stakeholders in the state.
Another notable aspect of Shaibu’s inclusive leadership is his accessibility and willingness to listen to the concerns of the people. He actively engages with different segments of society, including traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth groups, and civil society organizations. By doing so, he ensures that everyone has a voice and their perspectives are taken into account in the decision-making process.
Shaibu’s commitment to inclusive governance is further reflected in his efforts to promote social inclusion and empower marginalized groups. He has initiated programs that provide opportunities for women, youths, and persons with disabilities to acquire skills and access resources for socio-economic development. This demonstrates his belief in the inherent potential of every individual, irrespective of their background.
Philip Shaibu’s inclusive leadership style and his ability to see everyone around him as one sets him apart as a leader Edo State need now. His commitment to unity, equal opportunities, and inclusive governance has the potential to transform the state and promote social harmony. As Edo gears up for the gubernatorial elections, the people have an opportunity to support a leader who values the collective welfare over personal interests.
