Popular Nigerian comedian and skitmaker, Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, widely known as Sabinus, has urged Nigerians to extend their demand for good governance beyond President Bola Tinubu to include governors, senators and other elected political office holders.
The entertainer made the call in a video circulating on social media, where he argued that the campaign for political accountability should not focus exclusively on removing the President while allowing other underperforming politicians to retain their positions.
According to Sabinus, voting out Tinubu without demanding accountability from other elected leaders who have allegedly failed to deliver on their responsibilities would undermine the objective of the struggle for better governance.
He maintained that Nigerians must pay equal attention to the performance of state governors, members of the National and State Assemblies, local government chairmen and councillors.
The comedian stressed that political accountability should cut across all levels of government, insisting that elected officials must be judged by their performance and commitment to the welfare of the people.
He urged citizens to ensure that politicians who fail to meet the expectations of their constituents are voted out during elections, regardless of their political positions or parties.
Sabinus’ remarks have added to ongoing conversations about political accountability and citizens’ responsibility in determining the future of elected leaders across Nigeria.
