A new book authored by three media professionals, Asiwaju: The Leadership Secrets, has critically examined the leadership skills of the former Governor of Lagos State, Mr Bola Tinubu.
Mr Tinubu, fondly referred to as Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu or Asiwaju by his political disciples, is the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Saturday, February 25, 2023, presidential election in Nigeria.
The astute politician has been described as a political strategist with the talent to discover exceptional people with good governance skills.
It was gathered that Asiwaju: The Leadership Secrets intends to be educational material for students taking a course in leadership.
According to information made available to Business Post, the book would be released soon in bookstores across the country and on several online platforms.
The book is a 200-page book, hardback and paperback, which covers the activities of Mr Tinubu in the political space over the last 30 years, solely focused on his leadership style, which has set him apart as an outstanding political figure.
The well-researched 14-chapter book highlights the secrets of the enigmatic personality who commands enormous influence and an enviable followership many years after leaving office as an elected governor.
It squeezed the details of his qualities captured with memorable pictures for pleasurable reading and has been recommended for upcoming leaders in different areas of life.
“The book, Asiwaju: The Leadership Secrets, speaks glowingly about an enchanting personality that intrigues; a colossus who has become the central 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,” a renowned journalist, Mr Babajide Kolade-Otitoju, wrote in the Foreword of the book.
