The Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre, Sam Adeyemi, has offered his perspective on enhancing leadership culture in Nigeria, suggesting that if he were a governor or the president of Nigeria, he would establish a weekly tradition of addressing his constituents.
During a Monday segment of Channels Television's Sunrise Daily, Adeyemi stated, "If I was the governor or president of Nigeria, I would address the nation every Sunday evening or Monday. It may be five minutes, but I will sell the idea of development."
The 56-year-old cleric stressed the importance of responsible leadership at all levels and urged citizens to take responsibility for shaping Nigeria's future.
He emphasized the need for a collaborative effort to drive the nation's progress, declaring, "For too long, we've allowed those in power to dictate our path forward. If they are unwilling to instigate change, we must initiate it ourselves, starting at the individual level."
Adeyemi highlighted the crucial role of communication, noting that the younger generation has unprecedented opportunities to disseminate their message through social media and advanced communication tools, stating, "Your phone today is your radio station and your TV station."
The leadership expert called on officials, including those in the military, to take the lead in advocating for a developed Nigeria and encouraged those in positions of authority to go beyond their roles and use their influence to drive change.
