Commissioners list!Prof Chris Nwaokobia says Ambode has made him a laughing stock

He shared this on social media today

 

“I do not see how he survives, why he is not crushed and torn to pieces. Without him I should be destroyed. He performs his task superhumanly.” – Abraham Lincoln on  Edwin Stanton his Secretary of War who was first his hater and arch-critic.

 

Noah Brooks a Journalist said that Stanton was known as a ‘bull-head’ that is to say ‘opinionated, implacable, and not easily turned from any purpose’. The LESSON is Stanton was not particularly likable – yet President Lincoln liked him.

 

A good Leader must overcome the ids of revenge. He must put Country First and surround himself not with jesters and praise singers but those who at all times can say the truth to Power. Public Office holders must subsume egos and ids by learning some Lincoln leadership tact.

 

To Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, I must say that some of us of South South and South East extraction who stock our necks out in the electoral effort that brought you to power have become recipients of a barrage of hate calls and diatribe since your list of Special Assistants and Commissioner designates was sent to the House of Assembly.

 

It has been a spate of cynical and skeptical attack on us your supporters as your list does not have a non-yoruba name on it. Tinubu worked with some non-indigene/non-Yoruba Commissioners and S.As and so did Fashola, BUT your Ambode has chosen to return Lagos to the dark days of ethnic divide and exclusion, they argue.

 

Sir, the ideological brush we had with some Igbo Leaders during the campaigns should not deny Lagos the cosmopolitan beauty that your Predecessors made of it, inclusion is it. THINK.

 

God Bless Nigeria.

 

TO BE CONT’D.
