Nigerian singer and producer Cobhams Asuquo has expressed concerns over the quality of leadership in Nigeria. His comments came after a video showed Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, struggling to present the state’s 2025 budget. During the budget unveiling, the governor repeatedly stumbled over the figures, creating a viral moment.
Cobhams, reacting to the incident, took to Instagram to question why Nigeria, a country known for producing brilliant minds, continues to be led by individuals who seem less capable. He raised the issue of whether the citizens are truly ready for progress or if they are content with the status quo. The singer’s post also wondered if Nigeria’s leadership choices are entirely forced upon the citizens and if governance, both from the governed and the governor, truly matters.
Cobhams also highlighted that some of the brightest minds he has encountered have come from Edo State, leading to his frustration over the current leadership.
