A former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has told President Bola Tinubu that being well meaning or intention is not enough in leadership.
The former two-term governor said this on Thursday when he featured on a Channels Television programme: “Politics Today.”
Fayemi, 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.
The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress told his interviewer: “He (Tinubu) is well-meaning, but well-meaning is not enough in leadership; intentionality is critical to success.”
He said those in power know the truth but do not act on the truth “because sometimes there are many mediating factors”, adding: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done many good things, we all must acknowledge that.
