Nigeria Needs Accountable Leadership for Real Transformation — Senator Natasha

Reported by David Joshua | Sele Media Africa

As Nigeria marked its 65th Independence Anniversary, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (Kogi Central) emphasized that true national transformation can only be achieved through transparent and accountable leadership.

Key Highlights from Her Statement:

• “Nigeria cannot continue to recycle the same systems of impunity and expect a different outcome,” she said in a message shared via her official social media platforms.
• The Senator urged public office holders to prioritize people-oriented policies over personal gain, noting that reform efforts without integrity would fail.
• She called for institutional reforms to strengthen anti-corruption agencies, electoral justice, and civic education, particularly among youth.

Context:

• Her comments come amid public debate over the impact of current reforms under President Tinubu, with rising inflation, insecurity, and hardship clouding the Independence Day mood.
• Many civil society voices have echoed Natasha’s concerns, pointing to the need for governance driven by accountability, not political patronage.

Quote:

“Nigeria’s hope lies not just in economic policies but in the conscience of its leaders.” — Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan
