True Quality Of A Good Leader "Tinibu As A Case Study" by paddybrown(m): 3:36pm On Nov 21, 2015 |
RETWEET... In 1999, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu was
elected
Governor of Lagos State. His then party, the Alliance for
Democracy (AD) produced all the governors of the South
West.
By 2003, Tinubu was the onl y governor left in the AD.
He was
under pressure to decamp but he stayed. He built the
party and it
became stronger.
For the eight years that he ruled Lagos, he hired several
guys to
work with him. I think he carefully picked them. Apart
from using
them to work in his government, he also groomed them
for the
future.
Eight years down the line, see where those Tinubu guys
are today -
1. Prof Yemi Osinbajo, SAN was Tinubu's Attorney
General and
Commissioner for Justice. He is today, Nigeria's Vice
President.
2. Rauf Aregbesola was Tinubu's Commissioner for
Works. Today
he is serving his second tenure as Governor of Osun
State.
3. Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN was Tinubu's Chief of
Staff and
successor in office. He is today Nigeria's Minister of
Power, Works
and Housing.
4. Alhaji Lai Mohammed was Tinubu's first Chief of Staff.
He is
today, Nigeria's Minister of Information.
5. Babatunde Fowler was appointed by Tinubu as
Chairman of the
Lagos State Internal Revenue Service. Today, he is the
Executive
Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service.
At the National Assembly, there are countless "Tinubu
boys" who
have occupied and are still occupying seats till today.
Since 1999, the Tinubu camp has produced almost 98%
of the
members of the National Assembly from Lagos State.
Forget politics, this man is a political enigma.
Rewind to 1999, I am sure most of us have forgotten the
names of
the People who were elected Governors then. Some of
them have
gone out of circulation. Some are gasping for breath
politically.
Indeed, most of them are no longer relevant today.
Who still remembers Mbadinuju of Anambra State, Jolly
Nyame of
Taraba, Mohammed Lawal of Kwara, Segun Osoba of
Ogun,
Attahiru Bafarawa of Sokoto, Achike Udenwa of Imo,
Victor Attah
of Akwa Ibom, Orji Uzor Kalu of Abia? That one has lost
two
consecutive senatorial elections.
But Tinubu has not only managed to remain extremely
relevant, he
has continued to control Lagos politics 100%. Not only
that, he
manages to carry his boys along and today they occupy
critical
positions in our national life.
Take it or leave it, Tinubu is today, Nigeria's most
powerful
politician. It didn't just happen by chance. He worked
very hard for
it. Very very hard.
The hallmark of a true leader is not just the ability to
rule well but
also the ability to nurture and groom his associates.
Oga Tinubu, TUALE SIR!!!

The lion of bourdillion, the jagaban borgu, the Asiwaju of Yoruba Race, the olowu ori mummy oluremi, the man with the Midas touch, the last man standing, the slayer of PDP, the greatest political strategist and tactician of our time, the man with the lion's heart. I admire you a great deal, even a die hard critic will stil have something to emulate from him, may God continue to spare your life to continue to reap the fruits of your hardwork. I respect your political sagacity. |
