Elevating Leadership: A Case for Hajia Asmau Sulayman-Adeyemi As DG Amalgamated APC Support Groups (AASGS)

By Kayode Abidemi

In every organization, effective leadership is paramount for progress and development. In times of conflict, the role of purposeful, focused and patriotic leadership can be invaluable to the survival of a people or community. It is even more critical when leaders have to engage the issue of fostering unity and development.



Under such circumstance, you need leaders with compassion, inner strength, believe in God, exposure, commitment, dedication, discipline, and confidence. You need leaders that are honest, can mobilise and connect with the people, a high sense of passion to make a difference and capacity to take strong or tough decisions in the common interest.
It is the combination of these and more that bring out the best in leaders as they rise to the challenge of the time.



It is in view of the above, that Hajia Asmau Sulayman-Adeyemi's sense of duty, responsibility, seriousness and attention to detail become very compelling as we begin the search for a competent Director General of the Amalgamated APC Support Groups.



There are many attributes associated with Hajia Sulayman-Adeyemi as a leader but two of such attributes make her very essential for the APC as a political party and the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by extension. These are, her unmatchable mobilisation prowess and ability to connect with the people;  and a sense of service.
All through Hajia Sulayman-Adeyemi 's career trajectory, she has shown that if a sense of service, sacrificial giving of oneself for the good of others does not exist, then we cannot lead. What this means is that leadership is "others-centred" behaviour. Yet the culture in the twentieth century increasingly focused on self( that is, me, myself, I and my family). Hajia Asmau Sulayman-Adeyemi is a guiding light of compassion and care to the less privileged. In a political climate often tainted by self-interest, Hajia Asmau Sulayman-Adeyemi stands out as a beacon of compassion for the people. Her unique approach prioritizes the average citizen over the powerful, reflecting a genuine commitment to the welfare of all. As the AASG seeks a new leader, Hajia Asmau's vision, experience, and compassion make her the indisputable choice to guide the group towards greater heights.



Other leadership habits I have found in my personal experience with Hajia include humility, goal setting skills, mentoring and development of the generation next. These undoubtedly remain the key factors we must consider in the process of recruiting a capable hand that would be in charge of coordinating the affairs of the APC Support Groups and secure their support and input towards the policies of the Tinubu's administration.



President Tinubu ( and the APC by extension) , requires a trusted and dedicated ally to manage the affairs of the APC Support Groups. Hajia's leadership role will undoubtedly provide the necessary counterforce and buffer against opposition forces within and outside the party; and ensure the success of ongoing laudable reforms aimed at changing the fortunes of the country for the better.



It is very pertinent to add that from the earliest days of Asiwaju Tinubu's presidential aspirations, Hajia Asmau stood by his side, unwavering in her belief in his vision for Nigeria. While others doubted the feasibility of his ambitions, she remained resolute, recognizing his exceptional track record as the governor of Lagos State and advocating tirelessly for his candidacy.



Hajia Asmau's commitment extended far beyond mere rhetoric. Her presence on the streets and social media platforms, passionately championing Tinubu's cause, reflected her deep-seated belief in his leadership potential and her unwavering dedication to Nigeria's future under his stewardship.



As the Founder/Director General of the Renewed Hope Independent Support Groups Committee (RIC), Hajia Asmau demonstrated her organizational prowess and dedication to President Tinubu's cause. Through RIC's extensive network of over five hundred (500) support groups across the nation, she mobilized grassroots support and played a crucial role in securing victories for APC candidates in various elections.



Hajia Asmau's academic journey, crowned by a B.Sc degree in sociology with second class upper honors from the University of Abuja, reflects her commitment to intellectual prowess. Beyond academia, she stands as the Chief Executive Officer of Asmha Foods and Services, a food and beverage company that played a pivotal role in supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's campaign. The company, under her leadership, generously provided thousands of customized table water, natural fruit drinks, snacks, small chops, and meals for free, showcasing her unwavering dedication to the Tinubu's cause.


Hajia Asmau's selfless commitment to President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda is unparalleled. Her personal sacrifices and unwavering dedication have undoubtedly contributed to the advancement of President Tinubu's vision for a better Nigeria. As calls for appointments in the Tinubu's administration echo, her inclusion would not only be a testament to her loyalty but also a strategic move to ensure the success of President Tinubu's transformative agenda.
