Governance and strategic management expert, Leesi Gborogbosi, has urged President Bola Tinubu to apply three “strategic steps” he has conceived with assurance to end the lingering #EndbadGovernance protests sweeping across Nigeria.

Gborogbosi, reflecting on the worsening consequences of the raging protest, from his Port Harcourt, Rivers state base, challenged the president to, “Put me to the test. Apply these simple measures and watch the protest disappears”.

Enumerating the conceived steps, he stated: “First, Mr President should make a national broadcast, pleading with the protesters to give the government a 30-day grace period.

“Step two; the President should call for a five-day Emergency Economic Crisis (EEC) Meeting and Workshop in Abuja. Invitees to the workshop should include the President, Governors, LG Chairmen, Traditional Rulers, Business Leaders, and Representatives of Youth and Women.

“Then, within five days, the gathering should develop an economic and development plan that can solve the problems of hunger, poverty, joblessness, security and foreign exchange, among others.

“Lastly, going forward, President Tinubu should present the outcomes of the 5-day workshop to the Nigerian people to ensure buy-in and then implement the outcomes immediately in all LGAs, States, and Abuja,” Gborogbosi said.

According to him, the implication is that “this approach will Renew Hope in Nigerians. In the Kenyan experience, the President refused to talk to the people at the onset, and we all know the outcome of the Kenyan protest.

He said: “Let’s support President Tinubu to succeed by giving him honest feedback. The success of President Tinubu is the success of Nigeria.

He further cautioned that “A leader should periodically drop those in his inner circle who are not adding value.” (The Nation)
