Sabinus Urges Nigerians To Vote Out Bad Leaders, Says Removing Tinubu Alone Won’t Fix Country

Popular Nigerian comedian and skit maker, Chukwuemeka Emmanuel Ejekwu, better known as Sabinus, has urged Nigerians to look beyond calls for President Bola Tinubu’s removal and demand the exit of other political office holders he considers ineffective.

The comedian argued that replacing the President without addressing leadership failures at other levels of government would do little to change the country’s fortunes.

In a video shared on social media, Sabinus said Nigerians must extend their demand for political change to governors, ministers and other public office holders, rather than concentrate their attention on the Presidency.

“The same way we dey talk say Tinubu must go, as you say let’s remove Tinubu, let’s remove the ones wey dey for up, na so we go take remove those ones for middle,” he said.

He maintained that the country would not experience meaningful progress if citizens removed one leader while allowing other underperforming officials to retain their positions.

The comedian also cautioned Nigerians against assuming that a change of President would automatically resolve the country’s challenges, using Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as an example.

According to him, even if Obi becomes President, the presence of ineffective political office holders across other levels of government could undermine the prospects of meaningful change.

“As we talk say we go support Peter Obi, if we put Peter Obi there tomorrow and we still get bad eggs under, the country no go change,” he said.

Sabinus consequently called on Nigerians to hold all elected and appointed officials accountable, insisting that political change must go beyond replacing the occupant of the highest office in the country.

His comments come amid growing political debates and discussions about leadership, accountability and possible changes ahead of the 2027 general elections.
