Nollywood veteran Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has said Nigeria needs a leader who will go the extra mile and sacrifice his life for the country.
Omotola made this statement on Sunday during an interview on Channels Television.
She was speaking about the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
She said, “It’s unfortunate that we’re still where we are now. We have everything that every other nation wants and is clamouring for.
“I wish that our leaders could be bo ok d 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 the 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 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.”
