Servant Leadership Through Democratic Stakeholderism by Bolaji Oladejo

This book believes that Nigeria’s party democracy has been enriching party politicians and their collaborators but has been yielding disappointing dividends of democracy for ordinary stakeholders. With the goal of building, by 2035, a progressive society of servant leaders expanding good governance with rule of law, inclusivity, transparency, accountability, integrity, equity, merit, effectiveness, and efficiency, the book proposes restructuring of the country’s governance systems at all levels. This includes introduction of stakeholder groups and assemblies to replace political parties, diffusion of powers, devolution of powers, fiscal federalism, part-time legislature, establishment of Council of Presidents comprising six zonally-elected vice presidents who will rotate power as president, election of a prime minister who will share power with the president, and corresponding reforms at the sub-national levels. The book uses some light poetic style in some of its sections to motivate stakeholders to arise and collaborate within extant laws to actualize the desired developmental change.
