Prince Justice Faloye, president of the African Sociocultural Harmony and Enlightenment Foundation (ASHE), has argued that Nigeria has not yet embraced what he describes as Omoluabi social democracy. His remarks place the focus on the kind of political and social values he believes should shape governance in the country.
According to the report, Faloye expressed dissatisfaction with the current APC administration and its governing style. He described the leadership approach as neoliberal and said it does not reflect African social and political traditions.
The criticism suggests a wider debate about the direction of governance in Nigeria, especially over whether public policy should be more rooted in local values and community-centered ideas. By invoking Omoluabi social democracy, Faloye appears to be calling for a model that better aligns leadership with responsibility, social balance and cultural identity.
His comments add to ongoing political discussions about how Nigeria should define development, democracy and leadership. They also highlight a recurring tension in national politics between imported policy frameworks and approaches that advocates say are more in tune with African realities.
