In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ezekwesili argued that it is counterproductive for political leaders to threaten, taunt, or suppress protesters. She urged Tinubu and the governors to take immediate, constructive action to address the citizens’ grievances.

Ezekwesili emphasized that instead of resorting to repression, leaders should engage with the protesters directly, listen to their demands, and provide factual responses. She noted that the current approach has only strengthened the protesters’ resolve.

She called on the government to seize the opportunity presented by the protests to address both immediate concerns and long-term issues. Ezekwesili urged leaders to leave their secured environments and actively engage with the public, presenting a clear plan of action to tackle their short-term grievances.

For the longer term, she suggested using the current crisis as a chance for a major overhaul of Nigeria’s governance structure, advocating for a comprehensive national conversation focused on effective governance and systemic reforms to address the country’s deep-seated issues.
