The Office of Governor of a State is a highly revered one. It is a top leadership position that comes with humility, intellectualism, poise, professionalism and responsibility. It is a position of trust likened to that existing between partners in business relationships, and between directors of a company and its shareholders. The director must be a solid can do person elected based on his qualifications and technical knowledge to lead the Company to prosperity, so that shareholders can reap the benefits of their investments.

My resume in this regard speaks for itself. I have fifteen years experience as a Financial Expert, two of which was spent in Public Accounting, nearly three years as an Assistant Financial Controller in a Non profit organization, and eleven of which spent in running an accounting firm as founder and chief executive officer.

My financial expertise covers expansive background knowledge in areas of Auditing, Taxation, Financial Management, Economic Planning, Financial Advisory services, Budgeting, and Business development Advisory Services.

These are relevant credentials that match the challenges of fiscal discipline, fiscal accountability, and financial oversight functions which a 21st century leader should have.
