- Nollywood actor Laide Olabanji supports Peter Obi for the 2027 Nigerian general elections.
- Olabanji expressed his views in an Instagram post.
- He emphasized that the duration of a leader’s term does not guarantee effective change in a country.
Nollywood actor Laide Olabanji has once again thrown his support behind former Anambra State governor and NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.
Olabanji shared his position in a post on Instagram, where he argued that the length of time a leader spends in office does not necessarily determine how quickly they can bring about positive changes in a country.
To buttress his point, the actor referred to the military administrations of former Head of State Yakubu Gowon and his successor, General Murtala Muhammed.
“If someone can destroy a country in three years, another good man can make it better in just one year. Gowon ruled for nine years, Gen. Murtala Muhammed repaired it in just six months.
So if your tribe person can’t give you a better life, allow Peter Obi to give you a better country. The future of your children is very important,” he wrote.
Olabanji also called on Nigerians to place the quality of leadership ahead of ethnic considerations when making political choices.
His latest comment adds to his previous public remarks on governance and political leadership as conversations around the 2027 presidential election continue to gain momentum. He has repeatedly used his social media platforms to express his views on issues concerning Nigeria’s leadership and development.
The actor’s comments have therefore added to the ongoing public debate over the qualities Nigerians should consider when choosing political leaders ahead of the next general elections.
