Nigeria Lacks Good Leaders – Davido
Renowned Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido, has emphasized the need for effective leadership in Nigeria, stressing that good leaders are essential to pilot the nation towards unprecedented progress.
Davido stated this during an interview with Elevate Africa published on Thursday , December 5, on YouTube.
Davido said, “We can’t go forward without…we need the best leaders now first, that’s the most important thing”.
When asked, “Where do you think Africa should be by now, and how do we get there through music?”
He said, “I tell people, I say if you can survive in Lagos or you can survive in Nigeria rather, you can survive anywhere. I feel like we’re survivors; we’re strong-willed people”.
“Nigeria, if you go anywhere in the world, everybody has Nigerian friends. Whether you’re Chinese or…you have Nigerian friends everywhere in the world. I fly to do shows, Nigerian restaurants are there, and Nigerian communities are there. It just shows that we’re a force,” he said.
According to Davido, this widespread influence underscores Nigeria’s potential to lead on a global scale. However, he believes the missing piece remains effective governance.
“I just feel the only thing is just missing is just the right leaders to lead us. Once we get that right, I don’t think there’s anything that will stop us,” he stated.
