in his Dynamic Business Management, Describe, “Leadership as primarily the act of Creating Confidence”.Keeping a date with history is the ultimate goal of every human being. Once you are born, you have the opportunity to impact on the society and thus make a history; doing otherwise would put you on the wrong side of history; you end up as an ‘imbecile’. It is not debatable that life is only worth living, when it impacts on the lives of others. It is however, heartwarming that in the face of this glowing scenario, it is possible to still find few individuals as blaze traits, men and women who sterling qualities distance them from the club of nation wreckers, but men propelled by service delivery and deep sense of patriotism to his or her fatherland. Happily enough,
Nigeria is blessed with one such a unique personality in Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, (The Jagaban of Borgu), the new inaugurated President of Federal Republic of Nigeria, have over time distinguished himself in all sphere of leadership dynamism; is unarguably a politician that have built leaders and not followers in this country. He is a man that give his followers confidence, courage and lightened the tunnel to think right and take decisions that could stand the test of time.A Great Leader of note, Ahmed Tinubu, is a democrat, in conjunction with other notable political leaders of our great country, have done what many hitherto thought was impossible, by championing the force, forming of political Mega alliance, APC, that eventually end the 16-year mismanagement reign of the PDP.Asiwaju, you are indeed the Architect of our Modern Progressive Nigeria. In the words of our immediate past President Muhammad Buhari, he had said and I quote, that “Some years ago, precisely before the emergence of the 2014 Mega party, the APC, it was just a dream. It now become a promise, it became a reality and today, it is a miracle, it will and has happened, humbly assert that it has now happened”. Asiwaju, have not only launched the dawn of a Progressive New Nigeria, but have achieved a rare feat, which has eluded the great leaders of the past, extend a handshake beyond the Niger. This has culminated in the progressives, taking the center stage of governance in Nigeria by the victory of former President Muhammad Buhari in 2015 and 2019 respectively, which he, Asiwaju, championed. Again, in his political sagacity, continued to maintain Lagos state to the mainstream of governance by the recent victory of Babajide Sanwo-Olu for second term in office.The Jagaban of the Niger, no doubt, you became political institution in Nigeria and since carve a niche for yourself, since when the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) that coordinated the epic battle for the dethronement of the native colonizers, the military, aimed at sedulously campaigning for a serious far-reaching democratization of the nation political organism, in which you are one of the notable foot-soldiers of the pressure group. Since I have been following Asiwaju’s political antecedents, it is the destiny that he always face battles, ultimately he would overcome them with victory. Tinubu, you built and maintained an unprecedented political followership across the breath and length of this country; your political ideology was crested on the motivation to serve your people and the building of future leaders in the country; a man who have demonstrated an enthusiastic zeal to lead this country to the affluent….You are welcome Sir!Indeed, in you, the Advocate of Common Sense Revolutionary, we have a reliable, responsible, fearless, above all, trusted that could lead this our great nation to the Promised Land; a courageous politician who cannot be cowed or blackmail into shying away from the zeal to influence development to his people. The earlier Tinubu’s political enemies and their band of rabble rousers come to terms with his proposed all-inclusive government to develop this country, the better for their adrenaline.Your Excellency Sir, we have the utmost believe that you have the cerebral capacity, energy, creativity, doggedness and profound wisdom that Almighty Allah would grant you to pilot the affairs of this great country beyond expectations, hence your landslide victory at the February 25, 2023 Presidential poll was guaranteed by the Nigerian people. At an appropriate time Sir, when the political ingenuity, good governance, developmental history of Nigeria is being written, there is no doubt, that your name DEFINITELY will be etched in GOLD, as you would have had successfully transformed the socio-economic status of this country to a reality during your glorious tenure in office.While I pray and seek the Almighty Allah (SWT) to protect, guide and bless you and your team with enormous wisdom and understanding to pilot this nation to the Resounding New Hope, I wish you successful tenure in office.I HIGHLY CONGRATULATE YOU SIR!
