A civil society activist, management consultant and procurement professional, Mr. Mohammed Bougei Attah, alias MBA has said Saliu Mustapha, an aspirant for the All Progressive Party Chairmanship position, as the best among all the contestants.
Mr. Attah made this known yesterday while discussing with some journalists on the current ugly situation of the country, largely attributed to politics and bad governance.
“If fairness, sincerity of purpose and service to the people are major elements of a leader, then we need the likes of Musty” as he’s fondly called by his friends, said Attah.
Attah who is a childhood friend and colleague of Saliu Mustapha described him as “a unique personality and rare in our type of leadership today.” He also identified Mustapha as not only a sincere and God-fearing person, but also a lover of peace and people.
With over 20 years as friend to Mustapha, Attah recalled a particular incident where they both started the publication of NGO Network, a general interest magazine for the nonprofit sector in Nigeria that lasted for 10 years. Without expecting any financial return but for his believe and convinction that the tabloid will impact positively in the society, Mustapha supported the startup with his savings. As a young man with no regular income and has not worked in the public sector then, it will be right to say he has earned his decent living by investment in others, Attah added.
Further, Attah said that though he is not a politician and has not had any relationship with the other aspirants, their public services in the last ten years compared to that of Mustapha are enough to evaluate them. He therefore advised the leadership of the ruling party, APC to make a good choice in Mustapha for good governance, leadership and service to the people.
