A LEADER

 Tribute to Gani Fawehinmi .... A true Nigerian Leader.
Chief Abdul-Ganiyu “Gani” Oyesola Fawehinmi, (22 April 1938 – 5 September 2009) was a Nigerian author, publisher, philanthropist, social critic, human and civil rights lawyer, politician and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. 


A leader is selfless, proactive and ambitious

A leader don't seek for fame and glory
Always thinking about the people's welbeing

A leader brings out the best in you
Gives you the mindset to be independent 

A leader is prone to success
Failure is not an option to beget

When you are depressed and feeling down
A leader comfort you with open hand

A leader tells you its possible
For your dreams to reach the sky

The importance of standing for what is right
Is why a leader don't compromise his heart

When things go wrong, a leader takes the fall
Always thinking first about the people

A true leader don't mind standing
Forever out in the sun waiting for you

He shares in the pain of the people
Day and night fighting for a better tomorrow

A leader is like the stars up in the sky
He gives you a reason to smile

A leader don't hide behind the curtain
Or wore a mask to conceal his identity

A good life can be guaranteed
Because a true leader seeks what is good for you and me
