Nigerian comedian and skit maker Sabinus has sparked conversations online after questioning Nigerians over their failure to hold elected public officials accountable for the funds allocated to them monthly.
In a statement addressing the country’s situation, the comedian challenged citizens to pay more attention to the activities of their local government chairmen, state lawmakers, members of the House of Representatives and governors.
According to Sabinus, many Nigerians focus their attention on certain political leaders without demanding explanations from other elected representatives who also receive public funds to carry out their responsibilities.
He questioned why citizens rarely demand accountability from these officials despite the money allocated to them every month.
“How many of you have held your local government chairman, House of Assembly members, House of Representatives members, and governors accountable for the money being given to them every month? We don’t ask this question,” he said.
His remarks have drawn attention to the need for Nigerians to demand transparency and accountability from elected officials at all levels of government, rather than concentrating their criticism on only a few political figures.
