Dr. Josef Onoh, the South East spokesman for the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Presidential Campaign Council, has stated that Tinubu’s much-touted delegation of subordinates to speak at the Chatham House, United Kingdom lecture, was a creative licence extended by Bola Ahmed Tinubu to empower his team for the work ahead after electoral victory.
He recalled that, unlike PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar’s blackout at the same Chatham lecture, Tinubu’s delegation of duty was a core component of leadership in getting work done through others meant to overcome most of his political obstacles and general life’s challenges, adding that Bola Ahmed Tinubu believes in empowering his team and giving them creative licence, which also helps to organise for the remaining assignments ahead of caucus.
Responding to the Atiku Support Organisation’s (ASO) criticism of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate’s appearance at Chatham House, Onoh stated that the opposition presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party’s reluctance to delegate duties reflected a belief in the old adage, ‘If you want something done right, do it yourself.’
He remarked that the fear of failing in entrusting significant tasks to others was a fundamental reason why the other presidential candidates plainly under delegated tasks during their campaigns and media appearances.
“They believe that good delegation takes longer than simply doing the task themselves, and some even doubt their own competence to select the correct individual for the job.” However, Bola Ahmed Tinubu recognised the benefits of delegating and made it his primary strategy of overcoming most of his political and general life issues.”
He retreated that Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s master stroke was demonstrated in London, where he showcased his belief in delegating assignments and team spirit is driven to succeed and proved he was ready to take charge of Nigeria come 2023; demonstrated that his subordinates will be capable of taking on more projects than he can handle alone, adding that the fear of failure is the reason the opposition party presidential candidates avoid delegation, and wondered.
Onoh said: “The PDP and LP presidential candidates are busy juggling priorities at the same time, if it is not the PDP G-5 issues or running back to his country and home in Dubai, the other is busy quoting wrong statistics hence they’ve kept making mistakes. Delegating tasks to the right individuals is important and in the case of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s choice to delegate at Chatham house allowed him to focus on planning and organizing for the remaining assignments ahead of his trips.

“Bola Ahmed Tinubu demonstrated he has built trust, open communication, and engagement among the team he came with and clearly showcased a feeling of openness and engagement among his delegation.
“Unlike other presidential candidates who failed to delegate adequately during this campaign period, they have shown both the electorates and Nigerians that their team consists mainly of characters who are afraid to take initiative or who feel apprehensive about bringing new ideas to the table, which is a clear deviation of Tinubu’s style of politics. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a presidential candidate and incoming President of Nigeria that I can boldly say delegates tasks adequately which has helped build trust both in our Presidential Campaign Council, and beyond, hence that trust is driven even further because Asiwaju remains open for communication and listening.
“Our presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu truly felt that the skills and talents as demonstrated by the various speakers he delegated at Chatman House were put to good use. They were engaged and happier after which their happiness was expressed during the lovely evening dinner, the ambiance said it all it stimulated creativity and developed the skills of our team.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Jagaban, the one, and only city boy remains a leader who gives his team members the freedom to tackle delegated tasks in their own way, he believes in empowering his team and giving them a creative license. This personal initiative of Asiwaju has led to creative breakthroughs, which today have benefited everyone involved, I inclusive, and it has helped team members of our presidential campaign council build some very specific skills along the way and created a positive business culture of renewed hope for Nigeria.
“Perhaps the best reason why Bola Ahmed Tinubu delegates tasks to others have to do with the type of political and business culture and style of leadership he has been able to create which has helped to boost our morale, improve efficiency and productivity, and promoted enthusiasm, innovation, and cooperation – all of which are vital to the Renewed hope Nigeria project. Chatham House’s outing proved that Asiwaju has a group of highly qualified team who are experts at getting the job done right.
“Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s method of delegation is vital to the success of Nigeria come 2023. He is a leader who remembers that it is not a way to push off unsavoury tasks to others. What’s more, he’s a leader who doesn’t micro-manage delegated tasks. He delegates effectively and offers communication and support and makes allowance for autonomy and creativity at the same time.”
