‘Meaning-well not enough in leadership’ – Former Ekiti Gov, 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.

“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,” he said.

USAID: Billions of dollars have been stollen – Trump names those responsible

United States President Donald Trump has disclosed that billions of dollars might have been stolen through the United States’ Agency for International Development, USAID.

Trump, in a post on his Truth Social on Thursday, said much of the money went as a “payoff” for creating good stories about the Democrats.

The President said the discovery could be the biggest scandal in the history of the US.

“Looks like billions of dollars have been stollen at USAID, and other agencies, much of it going to the fake news media as a “payoff” for creating good stories about the democrats. The left wing “rag,” known as “Politico,” seems to have received $8,000,000. Did the New York Times receive money??? Who else did??? This could be the biggest scandal of them all, perhaps the biggest in history! the Democrats can’t hide from this one. Too big, too dirty!”

DAILY POST reported that USAID’s website went dark on Saturday.

The development came after Trump, who just returned to power after a four-year break, made good his promise to US international support to other countries.

All USAID direct hire personnel has been placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs.
