‘Meaning-well Not Enough In Leadership’ – Fayemi Tells Tinubu

Former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has said that President Bola Tinubu means well with his policies, stressing that well-meaning is not enough in leadership.

Fayemi made this statement on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television on Thursday.

The ex-governor, who described the president as his elder brother, said the Tinubu administration must have a policy framework that aligns with leadership acumen to get Nigerians the desired change.

“He (Tinubu) is well-meaning but well-meaning is not enough in leadership; intentionality is critical to success,” he said.

According to him, those in power know the truth but do not act the truth because sometimes there are many mediating factors.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done many good things, we all must acknowledge that. He’s been bold to take on some of the most difficult decisions that previous leaders have been reluctant to take on.

“The fallout of those decisions has caused us huge cost of living crisis. Fuel subsidy removal, convergence of FX window.

“Whether you talk about student loan or other efforts at resisting insurgency, taming insecurity, tax policy reform, increase revenue into the federal coffers, some elements are there but need to come together.
