This book attempts and succeeds in defining qualities of good leadership and the participatory rights of citizens of a nation in democracy. Ibekwe shows that democracy is the vehicle through which every citizen can participate in producing good leaders. He made an excellent connection between good leadership and positive outcomes of democracy, quality governance and a progressive nation. By including chapters on women and youths he showed that all citizens of decision-making age have a role to play in democracy. In the fourth chapter he dwelt on how most Nigerian politicians view politics – as big business — in which one invests and expect economic return for self and not for public service. He is correct in concluding that public leadership requires uncommon endowment of intellectual capacity. In a country where the masses appear to be voiceless and powerless in the midst of impunity, corruption and self-oriented politics, Joseph Ibekwe’s book provides a guide to how citizens can become active democratic agents for more progressive leadership and hence nation.

Description

The Quest for Political Leadership offers a quasi-unparalleled insight into leadership viz-a-viz politics. The author has stringed together the nexus of today’s leadership predicament and shortfalls, he has rallied behind leadership anchored to citizens and the democratic space afforded.

The book stimulates the very fabric of societal sustenance through good leadership and exemplary democratic leadership and how the latter determines a nation’s development in all economic spheres.

The book underpins the importance of intellectualism in propelling public leadership.

Chaptered 16 is my cornerstone encouraging the citizenry to towards politics and the hindrances therein. It is a masterpiece and a must-read piece of literary liturgy

All readers, no matter their political inclination, will find much to stimulate their thinking in this book. If you are in any way concerned about leadership, and the future of Nigeria, you owe it to yourself to read this book. I recommend this book to everyone, as it will help us think clearly about issues that are more important in politics.

The crisis and failure of leadership in Nigeria have provoked a rash of books on leadership. I have the honour of reviewing some of the recent offerings on leadership in Nigeria. I can state unequivocally that Mr. Ibekwe’s book is unique. It is not a piece of moralising on leadership virtues but an analytical work on the qualities of transformative leadership. It starts from a recognisable analytical rigour before offering opinions. It is a great addition to effort toward understanding the fundamentals of good and transformative leadership and a guide to how to offer such leadership in contemporary Nigeria, a nation in dire in need of transformative leadership. I heartily recommend the book to leaders and those intending to be leaders or who care deeply about the impact of leadership on society.

One of the greatest gifts of any society is the gift of responsible political leadership. Nations are not great because they have natural resources, but because they have visionary and pragmatic political leaders.

Sometimes, citizen hate politics because of what politicians do, but what they don’t realize is that every citizen also plays politics each day of their lives. This incredible book talks about what leaders do and the politics that citizens play but don’t call it politics.

Enjoy this book as you to take a ride through 2o carefully organized chapters. It’s a good read and collector’s piece.
