Nigerian comedian Sabinus calls for all bad political leaders to be removed, not just President Bola Tinubu, in a video posted on social media. He says Peter Obi taking power would change nothing if other officials remained in office, according to Daily Post Nigeria.

Nigerian comedian Sabinus has urged voters not to limit their desire for change to the departure of President Bola Tinubu. In a video posted on social media, he called for political officials deemed bad to also be removed at the ballot box, according to the Daily Post.

Sabinus also said that a Peter Obi victory in the presidential election would not be enough to transform Nigeria if other political officials remained in office. He called on citizens to hold all holders of public office to account, the Daily Post reports.

His intervention comes after several recent positions concerning Bola Tinubu, including a report published on 14 November about booing directed at the Nigerian president in a mosque in Abuja. It follows previous criticism of political officials directed at the head of state, notably by former vice-president Atiku Abubakar in August.
