Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Prince Tonye Princewill, a movie producer, politician, and philanthropist, has said that Nigeria\u2019s main problem is not just about who becomes president but the entire political system.<\/p>\n

Speaking during an interview on Arise TV, Princewill said that Nigerians often blame their leaders, but the real issue lies deeper.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe Nigerians, we love to complain. When it was Obasanjo, we wanted him out. When it was Goodluck, we wanted him out. When it was Yar\u2019Adua, we wanted him out. When it was Buhari, we wanted him out. Now it\u2019s Tinubu, we want him out as usual,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He explained that changing presidents won\u2019t solve Nigeria\u2019s problems unless the system itself is fixed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just about the president. It\u2019s also about the governors, the National Assembly, the judiciary. It\u2019s a whole systemic challenge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Princewill stressed the need for leaders with real ideas and long-term plans.<\/p>\n

He said many of today\u2019s politicians are not ready to address the real issues affecting the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not interested in deceiving the people that work with me, and I\u2019m not deceived by the people I see working in the political space. Until I see people who are ready to address this key issue, I will continue to sit on the sidelines,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He also warned that unless Nigeria changes its political mindset, the country will continue to go in circles.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil we fix the system, every new leader will disappoint,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
