Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has underscored the responsibility of the elite in driving structural reforms while emphasising the need for political action to achieve tangible outcomes beyond protests.<\/p>\n

Speaking during his keynote address at the Technology, New Media, Citizens, and Governance Conference (TNCG) in Lagos on Thursday, Osinbajo called for strategic and result-oriented approaches to societal challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolitical action must go beyond protest and the euphoria that it brings. It must lead to some measurable or tangible result, otherwise it becomes counterproductive,\u201d Osinbajo stated, highlighting the socio-economic impact of protests on informal workers who depend on daily earnings.<\/p>\n

Addressing the elite\u2019s pivotal role in effecting meaningful change, he said, \u201cThe role of the elite in political action is crucial. When I say the elite in this room, I speak of us, of civil society.<\/p>\n

“The elite have the facilities to craft the objectives of political action or to clearly articulate the grievance and what would amount to success in the particular political action.<\/p>\n

“They have the networks and the resources to build coalitions for political change, often leading to structural reforms, the type of change that makes a real difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Osinbajo also examined the dual-edged role of technology and social media in political mobilisation.<\/p>\n

While acknowledging its capacity for leaderless coordination, he warned of the pitfalls of lacking clear objectives or leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cA major advantage of technology, and in particular social media, in mobilising protesters is that the coordination of action can take place without any apparent leadership,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

“However, if there is no achievable end, the effort may lack direction,” Osinbajo said.<\/p>\n

The TNCG Conference remains a platform for exploring the intersection of technology, governance, and citizen engagement, bringing together key stakeholders and thought leaders.<\/p>\n
