The Group Chief Executive Officer, Oando Group, Mr Wale Tinubu, has described the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as an exemplary politician who possesses leadership qualities worthy of emulation.
In a message to felicitate the former Lagos State governor on his 71st birthday on Wednesday, the Oando boss also lauded the selfless sacrifices the President-Elect have made for the enthronement and sustenance of democracy in Nigeria.
In his message Mr. Tinubu wrote:‘ ’Happy birthday H.E Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, an inspirational leader and President-Elect! Your selfless dedication to improving the lives of others, most especially Nigerians, is exemplary. As we celebrate another year of your remarkable accomplishment, may Allah (SWT) grant you courage and success in the leadership of our great nation.”
Popularly known as ‘Governor Emeritus’, Tinubu’s political career began in 1991 when he became a Senator of the Federal Republic representing Lagos West Senatorial District. The Third Republic was, however, truncated by the late General Sanni Abacha in 1993, following the June 12 debacle. But for fate, he would have been summarily dispatched for his outspokenness then.
The Lagos State-born politician came back in 1998, preparatory to the advent of the Fourth Republic. This time, he came out better, wiser and more determined. He was elected the governor of Lagos State in 1999 under the platform of the Alliance for Democracy, AD.
He survived the Peoples Democratic Party’s ‘Tsunami’ in 2003 when other AD governors in the South West region were swept away from office.
His political profile has been on the rise since, as he was among the top politicians who formed the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2014.

The Arole Oduduwa and Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi has appealed to all stakeholders in the ongoing presidential election particularly politicians and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to be matured in their conducts in order for peace to reign.
In an emergency press release issued at the Ile Oodua Palace, Ile-Ife on Tuesday, the Ooni who is the Co-Chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN), explained that Nigerians particularly the low income earners have been waiting patiently for the electioneering period to be over for them to resume normal activities.
“The imbroglio developing from the Presidential election of Saturday is unnecessary, distracting and totally unacceptable. The nation does not need it at the moment. All over the world, elections are known to be disputed. And the tension must be addressed in a way in line with law of the land and in accordance with the best global practices.”
“All politicians involved and their respective political parties without exception not to do anything capable of heating up the polity as this dangerously amounts to torching up a simmering fire of Nigerian cohesion.
“The Ooni of Ife in his capacity as the Co-chairman of National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN) hereby charges the nation’s electoral body to  remain on the path of fairness, equity and justice as it sets to complete the process of announcing the result of the election as adopted in global best standard.”
In the same vein, the Ooni urged Nigerians to remain patient and understanding of the fact that the country is far bigger than all entities and personalities.
“Nigeria and indeed some Nigerians are yet to recover from the hurts that emanated from the mismanagement of the #ENDSARS protest, that is why we must be watchful of our conducts and speeches.
“Nigerians have suffered enough and any form of uproar will add to the already harsh condition of living for Nigerians especially the poor and vulnerable amongst us. I equally urge our youths to resist all pressure to be utilized by unpatriotic elements as thugs.” The Ooni stated.

A new book espousing the leadership secrets of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the national leader and the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC is set to be unveiled.
The 200-page new book —Hardback and paperback— which basically covered the activities of Asiwaju Tinubu in the political space in the last 30 years, solely focused on his leadership style which has set him apart as an outstanding political figure. 
Written by three seasoned media professionals, the well researched 14-chapter book threw light on the secrets of the enigmatic personality who commands huge influence and an enviable followership many years after leaving office as an elected Governor. 
It squeezed the details of the qualities of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu captured with memorable pictures for pleasurable reading. 
In the Foreword of the epic book, written by Mr. Babajide Kolade-Otitoju, the internationally recognized media personality, stated, “The book, ‘Asiwaju: The Leadership Secrets’, speaks glowingly about an enchanting personality that intrigues. A Colossus who has become the main issue of Nigerian politics. “To corroborate this statement, someone once said Asiwaju should be introduced into the Nigerian University curriculum for Political Science students to study. This is evident in the fact that, apart from being a political iroko, he is also a progressive who strongly believes in the manifest progress of a state/country “. 
The new book, to be released soon on bookstores across the country and several online platforms, has been recommended for upcoming leaders in different areas of life.
