The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Adamawa State, Umar Ardo, has urged President Bola Tinubu to reflect deeply on the caliber
Ardo, who was a former presidential adviser, noted that the success or failure of any administration rests as much on the ability of the leader as on the competence or otherwise of his advisers.
The SDP chieftain said “The Constitution of our country creates at the federal level the Council of Ministers and offices of Special Advisers for the good purpose of executing the powers and functions due to the Office of the President.
“Advising a leader, therefore, is an onerous task that necessarily requires very special proficiency to perform. The lesson here is that the capacity for sound advice in a presidential system of government like ours must not be taken for granted that it can always be found in about every person close to the president.”
He added that such responsibility requires more than knowing the president closely but needs special skills and total commitment, adding that such commitment can only come when the skilled is formally bestowed with the official garment to perform those duties.
