Political Strategist, Prince Asade Adedayo, has highlighted governance and urity Failures, Calls for a New Era of Leadership
LAGOS, NIGERIA – November 19, 2025 – Prince Asade Adedayo, a distinguished Political Administrator and Campaign Strategist, has issued a stark analysis of the nation’s current crises, framing the pervasive insecurity and political disarray as direct consequences of systemic governance failure and a lack of strategic leadership.
This statement provides a technocrat’s perspective on the dual crises dominating national dailies, arguing that the current situation underscores the urgent need for a new breed of leadership grounded in administrative competence and civic engagement.
A Technocrat’s View on National Crises
- The Security Breakdown: A Failure of Strategy and Protection
Prince Asade Adedayo points to the recent abduction of 25 schoolgirls from the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Kebbi State as a symptomatic failure.While a combined security team conducts a search-and-rescue operation and the Army Chief has ordered troops to fight “day and night,” Adedayo stresses that a reactive stance is insufficient.
“From a strategic viewpoint, the persistent scourge of school abductions, which has seen at least 1,500 students taken in recent years, is not just a security threat; it is a catastrophic failure of policy, intelligence, and most fundamentally, the state’s primary duty to protect its citizens,” Adedayo stated. “We are treating a festering wound with band-aids when what is needed is comprehensive surgical reform of our security architecture and community policing models.”
- The Political Crisis: A Disconnect from Democratic Ideals
Commenting on the escalating factional crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), which has led to expulsions and required police intervention at the party’s secretariat, Adedayo highlighted the broader implications for Nigeria’s democracy.
“The current political theater, where internal squabbles necessitate appeals to foreign figures to ‘save democracy,’ is a clear indicator that our political structures are in dire need of re-engineering,” he said. “This is not politics; it is a dangerous distraction from the pressing issues of everyday Nigerians. It reveals a profound disconnect between the political class and the electorate they are meant to serve.”
National Dailies: Documenting the Symptoms
Prince Asade Adedayo acknowledges that the vibrant coverage by national dailies like The Punch, The Guardian, and Vanguard accurately chronicles these symptoms of a deeper malaise. The heartbreaking headlines from Kebbi and the volatile reports from political headquarters are not isolated incidents but are interconnected threads of the same governance deficit.
A Call for Competence, Inclusion, and Sustainable Progress
Drawing from his extensive background, Prince Asade Adedayo calls for a paradigm shift in Nigerian governance.
“Our nation is in desperate need of leadership that prioritizes administrative competence over political patronage, and strategic planning over emergency response,” Adedayo asserted. “We must transition from a system of personality-driven politics to one of institution-driven governance. The solutions lie in leveraging technology for security, fostering genuine civic engagement, and implementing policies that are people-centered, inclusive, and sustainable. The qualities of a future candidate for any office must be rooted in these principles of good governance.”
