Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations. ~ Peter Drucker
Leadership is often viewed as the product of Natural endowments and traits of personality, intellectual capacity, force of will and enthusiasm. But those are not of paramount importance in a good leadership. The real qualities of good leadership are found in those who have the collaborative ability to lead, setting aside ego, understanding the need to be constant, clear and open; creating an environment of safety and trust and willing to sacrifice to see to the physical, economic, social and spiritual development of the people.
It is incontrovertible therefore, that Hon. Steve Sunday Karimi, a proudly Yagba man fits into the above category of leadership school.
Hon. Karimi is a humble personality with an indelible mark of honesty, who put characters above wealth; a Man whose forthrightness distinguishes him as a special breed and a blessing to Yagba Nation, Kogi West and humanity.
Hence, with due sense of humility and responsibility, taking into cognizance, the exigencies, the significance of effective, outstanding representation that Hon. Steve Sunday Karimi is presented as the best senatorial product for all to support.
The choice of Hon. Sunday Karimi to represent and provide political leadership to the good people of Western Senatorial District of Kogi State at the National Assembly would be a ‘square peg in a square hole.’
This is so because the choice of electable representatives all over the world where popular democracy is practiced has always been a herculean task; not because of the dearth in human personnel rather the challenges of getting the right person for the right job.
Hon. Sunday Karimi having performed excellently well, provided effective leadership and quality representation to the satisfaction of his constituents. Re-elected for a second term in 2015 as a reward for his outstanding dedication to duty, patriotism, sacrifice and hardwork he is no doubt imbued with requisite legislative experience, needed capacity to provide a better representation at the upper legislative chamber.
Hon. Karimi as a tested, proven and trusted product has demonstrated significantly, an aggressive passion and strong commitment towards improving the economic progress, social wellbeing, and political emancipation of his people.
His visionary leadership is reflected in his daily endeavour to empower and liberate his people from the twin economic challenges of Poverty and Unemployment through proper education, vocational training, equipping and teaching on efficient management of resources.
As a creative thinker, Hon. Sunday Karimi, in addition to providing several jobs and creating opportunities for many, both in MDAs and private organizations took a conscious efforts to carry out a study on how best to improve the social and economic well being of the common man and woman; came up with blueprint that would usher in economic prosperity for the good people of Yagba federal constituency.

The idea was conceived as a tool for harnessing and driving the various economic and entrepreneurial potentials of the good people of Yagba Land with a view to translating them to economic prosperity and improved wellbeing. It was a concept that was developed to provide a link between identified talents and skills among the youth, women, vulnerable and the old folks, and making sure those skills and talents are harnessed, showcased and translated into productive enterprise
The scheme was also designed to serve as a platform for discovery and development of the human capacity among the constituents.
