Why Tinubu intention is not enough, Fayemi explains
In a trending interview, the ex-governor, who described Tinubu 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 All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain made this assertion on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday.
Fayemi said:
“He (Tinubu) is well-meaning but well-meaning is not enough in leadership; intentionality is critical to success.”
Buttressing his point, Fayemi, said those in power know the truth but do not act the truth “because sometimes there are many mediating factors.”
Fayemi tells Tinubu what to do as economic challenges persists
He lauded Tinubu's decision on major reform policies and explained what the president should do to address the current challenges bedeviling the nation.
Fayemi asserted:
“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.
“This is where effective policy framework go side by side with leadership acumen to get a change of narrative to the story. Maybe that’s the area where we need to do lots more.”
