streets even as a Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or
Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of
heaven and earth will pause to say “Here lived a great streets sweeper who did
his job will”.

the deplorable condition of Ohaozara local government council after the days of

judge him as a great leader who did his job well.
