Not many times is good old classical music compared to politics. Classically orchestrated symphony is expected to always inject life to its audience just as it is expected of politics to do same to the people.
Aside this role of boosters, there are still notable aspects for assessment. The orchestra conductor can be likened to a politician in his own right. Reverse the comparison if you like, the politician can also be equated to an orchestra conductor. They stand differently, but they do the same thing. The conductor stands backing the audience, directs his band with his wand, and fill our ears with wonders; the politician is expected to always stand facing his people, earn their confidence and fill their entire life with gladness. They are both under pressure to perform and of course, performance for them is not a tricky assumption. If you perform, you perform! The quality of performance is judged on the ovations of the audience/people.
As far as politics go, the concentration of every politician should always be to orchestrate praiseworthy and time-worthy performances, leaving the people extremely delighted to enjoy the successes.
In the last few years, its widely thought that there has been an unusual level of performance across Ethiope Federal Constituency and the constituents are almost bored to death at the abysmal evaluations. The relatively lack of key performance indicators have meant that the conductor, charged with arranging the harmony to the delight of the people is either missing in action or is on the wrong stage at the wrong time. The good news is, all that can be changed. The conductor who possesses remarkable skills with his wand, tested and delivered on every stage, delivering sweet sensations to his people regardless of politically defined responsibility is available and willing to thrill with electrifying and unforgettable performances.
Hon. Ben Rolland Igbakpa has been a strong presence on the local political landscape for more than a decade, and his enormous contributions spread across these times have created very compelling affections. He is like a possessed orchestra conductor who would stop at nothing until all of his mind-popping acts of undisputed expertise is felt deep in the heart of the audience. In his constituency, he is reputably recognised as one of the most exciting political product of premium quality. It’s not too much to say that in classical times, he would have been aptly described by political truth-seekers as the ‘ethical trailblazer’ because of his expressive and determined attitude towards advocacy especially, if it concerns those in the lowest rung of the society.
It’s been many years since the expectant political scenery of Ethiope Federal Constituency looked this commendably attractive, green and promising with the high prospect of progress. This is surely because of the expectation of the people that Igbakpa emerges as their representative at the Federal House of Representatives come 2019. Since the times of ex-governor James Ibori, the area has been a little short of pivotal and alluring leadership that put smiles on faces, joyful songs on lips, and gratitude in the hearts of the people. The ebullient times for the people of Ethiope would soon return and the people would have many “works of a genius” to attest to.
