Excerpt from Tunji Bello - Secretary to State Government.

Leadership bereaved of Emotional Intelligence.

The exit bell has sounded and it is time to say good bye to colleagues. We must seriously thank our Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode for bringing all of us together in the last four years.
We must praise him for the successful strides in bringing Lagos to the present level. All the accomplishments and success stories of this administration should go to him.
We should be happy too because we are directly or indirectly part of that success stories being his lieutenants. We should be happy for the opportunity provided and experience gained. It is not what you can buy on the shelf even if you have all the money. We should also be happy and thankful to God for seeing us to the end.
Yet as we depart on our individual sojourn, we must never forget to learn from our glaring weaknesses and failures. Since we are all part of the success stories we must also share in the weaknesses and failures.
Our main drawback is our Government’s inability to apply enough emotional intelligence in the administration of the state. Emotional intelligence includes interpersonal skills, interpersonal relationship, humility, respect for the well established mores of governance, disregard for the accomplishments of others. The belief that our way is the best without considering other options in a democratic setting, absence of wider consultations, distance from the governed, lack of effective communication skill or amateurish display of government acts and political immaturity. Deliberate and open alienation of others. We undertook gigantic projects without the soul. We were too self opinionated and narrow in our approach to governance.
It is a big drawback which prevented the administration from returning because it was punished for its lack of inclusiveness in a democratic setting.
In leadership, emotional intelligence is 70 per cent of application while individual brilliance is only 30 percent. Successful leaderships across the world in history have thrived on this fact.
Besides, and apart from lack of enough camaraderie compare to previous administrations, our cabinet has been less rigorous, less fulfilled, less engaged and less accomplished. And for the first time since the time of Governor Lateef Jakande, this cabinet departs unappreciated and disenchanted.
But dear colleagues, irrespective of all the set backs and disappointments, let us thank God Almighty for his mercies and benevolence and we leave with strongest belief that tomorrow belongs to HIM.
I wish all success in our future endeavors as we continue to remember one another!

Tunji Bello
Secretary to the State Government.

Emotional intelligence to allow Tinubu to steal

Emotional intelligence because he refused to be cowardly?

All the same, fellow Nigerians rejoice and make merry!

ATIKU IS COMING, ATIKU IS HERE !!!!!!!

If an SSG can write this it means, there are more to know in the coming days

How can a man who served as Secretary to the State Government pen down this for people to read. Why not maintain dignified silence? By this letter, Tunji Bello has proved himself a 'chartered' fathead and a 'certified' betayer. Why didn't he resign in the face of the shortcomings he listed? He cannot run away now because he was a key part of that government. He must share in its failings.

From hindsight, one can confidently conclude that Tunji Bello was a mole who continously betrayed and portrayed Ambode negatively in the eyes party hierarchy. This man Tunji bello is classic example of enemy friend that everyone should pray against.

I will retain Ambode's farewell address and put Tunji Bello's trash in trash can where it belongs.

Tunji Bello is a huge disappointment to say the least. He should bow his head in shame.

You dey mind the guy...

There is more to hear in the days to come. Can't believe a former SSG could be this blunt, I just hope he is doing this for the sake of posterity and not for political patronage. May God be with you guys as you enter another phase of your life/career.

He may still be reappointed as SSG, since most of them are more loyal to BAT. I heard most of the commissioners resigned earlier, but BAT encouraged them to stay.
That us the reason they dealt with Akinwunmi this way.

Na waa!

We should remember this same Tunji Bello served both Fashola and Ambode as SSG, he obviously understand what he's talking. It is wrong in all ramification for Ambode to jettison or treat with disdain the structure that made him.

a just man , is a lonely man.

Nope emotional intelligence to allow Ikpeazu share kerosene to your father n mother after owing them 40 months salary. Thank goodness Tinubu is not owing your father or mother a dime.

a just man , is a lonely man.

But the moment a just man decide to mingle with the unjust and benefits from them, he became 'unjust' and must adhere to the 'unjust' regulations.

Ambode total disregard to the party structure cost him second tenure. Some people believe BAT is all alone in Lagos politics but that's far from truth. Ambode was firstly rejected by some powerful politicians in Lagos before Tiunbu add his weight.

He was unequally yoke.

Na hand of Esau, voice of Jacoob

lalasticlala cold war already

This is a deep stab in Ambode's back by someone he trusted. He should have resigned than stay till the end. He was an enemy within and Ambode didn't know.

Abeg you people should let the former SSG speak his mind.

These are precious tips that will assist the incoming govt and others.

Indeed BAT controls Lagos politics, their governor is more of a poster boy.
