Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has said to be
an effective leader, one must prepare for the
future.

Obasanjo made the assertion at the inaugural
lecture of the Olusegun Obasanjo good governance
and development research centre with the theme:
‘Leadership, governance and the challenges of
development in Nigeria; the way forward.’

According to the former president, people must
have plan and ideas before seeking and taking
leadership responsibilities.

His words: “No person should go into government
with empty mind hoping to fill the mind up when he
is already in power. He should be fired by ideals
and only itching to run with it after gaining power.”
He said a programme of work with timeline must be
available on the first day of work for a political
leader.

Meanwhile, Elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark has
lashed out at Obasanjo for comments he made
about Goodluck Jonathan in Segun Adeniyi’s new
book, Clark has lashed out at Obasanjo for
comments he made about Goodluck Jonathan in
Segun Adeniyi’s new book, Against the Run of Play.


Clark says Obasanjo has not right to
criticise anyone

What mind did this old crook have while in government aside selfish aggrandizement with which he acquire billions to himself and cronies.

Is he not part of failed leaders that entrenched impunity, corruption and foisted present incompetent/clueless administration on us?

In the words of that youngman "Nigerian leaders deserves mass burial "

Obasanjo the hypocrite extraordinaire! Wehdone sir. However, Obj just answered a question that has been throbbing my mind since; Should people have a developed mindset of what they plan to do in office which can be tempered by reality while there or should they just go with an empty mind and then acclimatize in office as many Naija leaders do?
