Alhaji Mohammad Haladu is a young Nigerian Man who is full of vigor and strength of turning dreams to reality.like the popular American Neuron surgeon and an author of the world best selling books :”Gifted hands,You have a brain,and think Big”, Dr Ben Carson who had turbulent grow of humble beginning but his astute spirit of fighting for the just cause is now the world most celebrated Man in the world of medicine.
Haladu-Sardaun Jimeta made his own name in the Nigerian business cycle, through turbulent of humble background,through dint of hard work he became a business tycoon,earned a bigger name more than his contemporaries in importing and exporting foreign goods in the international market with great reputes and high sense of integrity.
No wonder his star of greatness was noticed at the day of his given birth In 1972, 18th September precisely, smiles and shout of joy filled the heart of every Family of Alhaji Mohammad Ahmad and Hajiya Binta Ahmad of blessed memory,realising that the child Mohammad is born to conquer the enemies of progress not only in Jimeta, but in Adamawa state and Nigeria as a nation in dare need of good leaders.
The prophecy at that time is today a wonder to everyone that knows Mohammad, with his own unique style and way of a positive unprecedented political speed became a Vanguard of progressive change in the entire country and to once again help rewrite the history of Nigeria for generations yet unborn.
The birth of Sardauna is a dream conceived, it was a given birth to a liberator of many young Nigerians whose destinies were chained, mender of battered and shattered hopes of many Nigerians, a pillar for support to Many people in the whole of Northern Nigeria.
Today, like young Martin Luther King Jr whose conceived a dream of a new America where the bond will be free, Blacks in America will one day be at the centre stage of leadership. Today is a dream come true a black Man with truth African identity has ruled America (Obama). Suffice it to say that Young Haladu is with a new dream of Adamawa State,where old and Young will be comfortable and proud to be indigenes of the state, in his dream Sardaunan Jimeta is seeing and symbolising Adamawa state as a glorious Horse whose pride,Strength and beauty will be unassuming if it is never left in the hands of selfish Nigerians.His feets certainly are strengths for bigger challenge, so far it is considerably to another leader is born to give Adamawa a good name even with responsibility bigger than his age.
This is to say the future of Adamawa State is indeed pregnant with good Omen, smells of better leadership which is bringing results to own a better Adamawa is secured as against the backdrop of many corrupt leaders the state had,subjecting the state into a stage of mockery and level of retrogressive cycle of Economy degradation growth.
Haladu once opined that Adamawa state is an agrigerian in nature,a natural arable state where it can grow up the best crops and underneath it is minerals resources in surplus if well harness will generate triple revenue of Lagos state in three months. He vowed to use Agriculture to turn the state into a world class exporter of Agric produce using the untapped river Gongola which flows down to Benue and Niger Rivers.
The perception of that good leadership is a journey to stardom. Leadership they said is about bringing the future to the presence. The ability to solve problems and the person that initiates and proffer solutions to problems is called a leader. These are exceptional qualities in the man the world know as a servant-leader of our time.
The reasoning is simply because a leader is born in the land of beauty (Adamawa), in him is the gifts and act of leadership to safe and to serve people,to defend and to protect people, to lead the led (people) in an atmosphere of flourish economy vibrant environment every where he goes.
Going through all the basics in both Islamic and western Education with good result, Haladu was ordained to be business ideologist as he finally graduated in the department of Business Admin from the University of Maiduguri and obtained his BSC with vast experience of accounting skills.
It’s then he joined politics in it’s full sense and combined it with business moving from one country to another for business purposes to make him earning a good living not solely for himself but to all that the Almighty God permits their paths to cross with his.
Young Haladu is presumed to have a dynamic Political life style who has emerged in the changing times of Adamawa state,whose political vibrancy and keen love of humanity had touched the heart of the then Lamido of Adamawa State, HRH Aliyu Mustapha to crowned him with the Honourable traditional tittle of “SARDAUNAN JIMETA “. The tittle “Sardauna” implies Man of the people, lover of people, servant of the people,a voice to the voiceless and a Man who is loved by his people.
As a Young Lion who is not afraid to face the impossible and dare the undarable , at a quite youthful age Young Haladu contested with other political contemporaries the Gubernatorial seat of the state in the last election where he gave a stiff fight to the incumbent Governor who narrowly escaped a defeat. It’s then his political star began to radiate to it’s full glory.
Like the Young eaglets,flying high as she grows and soaring to higher skies with vision to dare good opportunity of leading his people. In his nature is all about serving humanity in what leadership entails, with his good style of leadership, he began to support and sponsor youths in business and in school in the State,providing to the needs of the less privilege people in the society. His down to earth character it is an over statement if he consider a philanthropist, a Sardauna is a passionate philanthropist of our time.
His steady grow in political activism convinced many to see his high sense of honesty, doggedness, hardworking and his good sense of political focus when he has resulted to work and support the present administration led by Muhammadu Buhari who came in with the change mantra agenda to transform the entire country.
Muhammad is generally refer to the face of Youth,being young whose age is at the mid 40s but has vast sense of maturity in all aspects.With the daring need of Adamawa people he is now spotted and asked to contest again the gubernatorial beat of the state under the APC party. A beckons that the Old and Young keep calling, asking him never to say no, because objection to this noble cause is the destruction of the destinies of Many Young People.
This his standing tall qualities of a good leader and as an unassuming team player in the quest for changing Adamawa state and country in general for nation building is rating him high and to set him ready for bigger opportunity and responsibilities.
On a recent interviews with many indigenes of the state of his fast speed in his kind of politics,many have adjudged that Sardauna is Luxuriate taken pleasure in doing good to people no matter the pains. He will never want to be Lugubrious as looking and being friendly to people is his nature.
Many considered politicians as opportunity legerdemain people, full with all forms of deception and trickery,in his regard Sardaunan stand out to be one of his kind, unique breed personality whose type are scarce to be seen close by. Is one of his type who hates being bad in all it’s sense. But in deed his largesse generous acts of giving certified him to be a Man with more than what I called a passionate Philanthropist this is a life style that can never be out of him.
Many are looking and counting on him to be the number one Man as a seating Governor God’s willing in 2019 of the state to safe and revive Adamawa state from total collapsing as a result of past adminstration poor style of leadership. Considering him to be a rare gem amongst the many ones however, is one man who stands conspicuously taller than many Young up coming politician in character, honesty, integrity and achievements.
His meticulous growth of politics in the local and even the state level rise became noticeable ever since at a time when it was fashionable to sell integrity and honour for a paltry some of naira, this adorable man stood his ground, paid his dues in ensuring to build a legacy for justice to take its place of pride and posterity to judge him right.
For the record and now, Suffices to say that Alhaji Mohammad Haladu, the Sardaunan Jimeta in Adamawa standard of measuring wealth, he has in abundance good nature, good health, amazing grace, respect, honour, competence, wisdom,peace including good friends, associates,political allies and Well wishers that would go to war with him without a request and without hesitation to help in taking the state to the promised Land.
The green nature of Nigeria is practically in the green nature of her people, the beauty of Adamawa is personify by her beauty lying within the people of the state. Sardaunan Jimeta as one of the carrier of the glory of the state and Nigeria in extension,this is reminding our old historic legends both dead and life and in dead that its time for them to happily rest because leaders are born, Mohammad Haladu, the Sardaunan Jimeta has emerged to remake history in Adamawa state.
A good leader is not made overnight while charity begins at home. Sardaunan Jimeta is a product of good marriage, family life and dependable allies. It is for these reasons and many more the space and time would not allow one to write that many hats in the country are doffing off to an iconic leader of all leaders, a political generalissimo and ever sincere,ever loving and ever hard working Man. Political historians would have some stories to tell in the nearest future that this young executive has emensely contributed to the development of Adamawa state.
At this juncture permit me to say Leadership in simple terms is consider an act of leading, an act of influencing followers with high sense of passion were the led are reposing confidence, trusting and relying on the leaders to have the abilities to positively turn things around for the good of those being led.
Confidence and trust are earned, it can’t be bought by the gimmicks or gimginious self imposed will and acclaimed goodness of any sheer weather Leader. Haladu earns it all: He got the leading and he earns the trust of many in Adamawa state that are his support base pillars to be the Governor of Adamawa State come 2019 insha Allah
