Former President Olusegun Obasajo has made a shocking revelation.
He said: “If you’re doing a job and you’re not stepping on toes, then you’re not effective.”
“Shortly after I left office as Head of State, my first daughter, then at University of Ibadan studying Veterinary Medicine was engaged on my farm to gain some practical experience during long vacation.”
“On day one, she resumed a quarter past seven in the morning as against the usual 7 O’clock. I warned her reminding her that she has an obligation to be of good example to other workers.”
“I told her I will not hesitate to wield the big stick should the same be repeated going forward.”
“To my amazement, the following day she was late to work again. I did not hesitate to send her back right from the gate.”
“Not surprisingly, this had an indescribable effect on all my employees, saying ‘if Baba could do this to his daughter, who are we?’”
