Stan Nze Breaks Down Over Peter Obi's Interview
Nollywood actor Stan Nze has publicly reacted to a recent interview by Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, stating that the conversation left him deeply emotional and renewed his hope for Nigeria. In a video posted on his Instagram page, Nze admitted that listening to Obi discuss the challenges he allegedly faced while trying to contribute to Nigeria's development deeply affected him.
According to Nze, nobody who genuinely desires to improve the country should have to endure such experiences. He said: "I saw this video yesterday and it really broke me. It did things to me that I cannot even express. No one should be made to go through these things simply because they want to lead and see Nigeria become better."
Call for Competent Leadership Beyond Tribe
Stan Nze stressed that his comments were not motivated by blind political loyalty but by his desire to see competent leadership emerge in Nigeria. He emphasized that the country's problems, including insecurity, kidnapping, and flooding, affect everyone regardless of ethnic background, religion, or political affiliation. Therefore, Nigerians should focus on electing capable leaders rather than voting based on tribe.
He recalled supporting former presidential aspirant Fela Durotoye because of his vision for Nigeria, adding that he now sees similar qualities in Peter Obi. "This is not a tribal war. This is a call for genuine change," he stated.
Urges Nigerians to Get PVCs Ahead of 2027
With attention already shifting towards the 2027 general elections, the actor encouraged Nigerians to take advantage of the ongoing voter registration exercise. He advised those who had relocated to transfer their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to their current locations to ensure they could participate in the next election. "If you need to move your PVC somewhere closer to you, please do it," he appealed.
Stan also reminded Nigerians that the voter registration exercise is expected to end on July 26, 2026, urging eligible citizens not to miss the deadline.
Social Media Reactions
Legit.ng compiled comments from social media users. @bubescollectibles28 stated: "There was a time I cried bitterly for Abia state especially Aba. I asked myself will it ever get better for Abians? Today it's better for Abia. Aba is now a place to be proud of. So I believe one day in my lifetime Nigerians will celebrate victory over bad governance. We will celebrate Nigeria in ways the world have never seen before. Nigeria must be that country that the world will hustle to get their visa. It must happen, I believe and God will do it Amen."
@kentiga noted: "Not one single negative comment, Stan u have a positive effect on these ppl with ur message. It's heartfelt. Thank you for playing your part."
