Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has emphasized the need for selfless leaders in Nigeria, stating that the country requires individuals willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for its progress. She expressed this sentiment ahead of the 2027 general elections, highlighting Nigeria’s vast potential and resources, yet lamenting the current state of the nation.
“It’s unfortunate that we’re still where we are now. We have everything that every other nation wants and clamoring for. I wish that our leaders can be good enough to take some decisions to liberate this country even if it means dying for Nigeria. Every nation can become very bad or terrible. Even America can be most lawless country if there were no laws or enforcement.
What keeps any nation sane or in order is laws and enforcement, and it starts from that. So my prayer for Nigeria is that we actually get and find leaders who are selfless and ready to die for this country. We saw the people coming to say I love Nigeria. I was poor. I did not have one shoe. All are lies. They don’t care.”
She said in a recent interview on Channels Television on Sunday February 8.
