Leadership and rulership may appear to be both sides of the same coin in theory but both are as distinct and different as water and oil. Both concepts embody elements of authority, order and compliance but they do not serve the same purpose. One is self-centered while the other is selflessly sacrificial. When rulers mould statues, leaders build destinies. When rulers bury talents, leaders discover talents. When rulers appoint the dead to replace the living, leaders empower the living that they may not die. When rulers snuff life out of destinies, leaders empower destinies for manifestation.

Leadership is all about grey matters. It entails sweating in the head that tomorrow may be better than today. It does necessarily entail wearing the toga of populism. It is all about dreaming dreams and seeing visions, and the ability of taking the society not necessarily where they want to go but where they need to go. Leadership is all about statesmanship and statecraft. A leader may be a politician but he does politick with the future of the generations behind. To him politics is only a vocation and leadership a call to lay solid foundations that would make life easier and better for generations coming behind. As politicians think about the next election, a statesman plans for the next generation.
By raising these Ariaria shoemakers from the tedious analogue system of shoemaking and exposing them to technology-driven methodology of modern shoemaking, Gov Ikpeazu is changing both the narrative of entrepreneurship in Abia and laying a solid foundation of empowering these enterprising Abians to attain the peak of their potentials. By this act of periscoping into the dictates of tomorrow and preparing for the same, Gov Ikpeazu has not just taught these beneficiaries how to fish but he sure is empowering them to own their own ponds.
