‘Protests against Tinubu over hardship not best solution’

Prof. Adeyinka Omigbodun, former President of the West African College of Surgeons, has voiced concerns about Nigerians’ hardships due to rising commodity prices. While attributing the difficulties to poor leadership, he cautioned against street protests as a solution.

Speaking at the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED) in Ondo during the fourth Emeritus Professor Oladipo Akinkugbe Distinguished Lecture, Omigbodun highlighted that peaceful demonstrations are a citizen’s right. However, he stressed the importance of followers ensuring that leaders are elected to implement beneficial policies.

“It is not necessary to protest on the street to make your feelings known,” Omigbodun said. “Followers should express their concerns to correct issues; responsible leaders will listen and respond.”

He added that leadership reflects followership, emphasizing that everyone must strive to be better leaders for national development. Omigbodun pointed out that every country faces leadership challenges, and Nigeria is no exception.
