SACRIFICE ,LEADERSHIPAND PHONECALLS.

  Leadership on any level is very tasking and increasingly tougher, as one climb up the ladder of positions, on the presidential level I can tell you it is nerve breaking as presidents gets to the seat fresh but two years down the line they tend to look sick, any miss guided utterance or action may go viral creating and destroying things like a nuclear bomb even when not intended. As a leader your followers are influenced by your by lifestyle, actions, words and even body language, during the announcing of the election results an exemplary leader demonstrated an unusual calmness (Attahhiru Jega, inec chairman), at that moments when                                                                   

every citizen of Nigeria was tensed about the what the outcome of the election might be, the relevance of president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s phone call to the president-elect General Muhammadu Buhari conceding defeat, is a ground breaking act of divine wisdom and selfless service the nation was very volatile as the northerners and southerners were ready for gun-play over any little disagreement but he understood these and sacrificed his ambition, rather than plunging the nation into a civil war he choose what was best for the country, his single action I call the power of a call, a call can change ones destiny kill one and elevate another his call been prolific and has birthed twins of peace all-over Nigeria, now during the gubernatorial elections governors are following after his phone call, bidding winners success.

   He made our country worthy of emulation, other leaders are now tipped to follow his tactics (jonathansing) It is said that he lost Nigeria and gained the world, he is now been compared to great leaders in history.I bet you in coming years this act will be refferd to and demonstrated in the country’s democracy the phone call goes….
