“Insecurity is closer to home more than expected. You people are closer to the government. Let your heart speak. Use your voices and platforms to speak up for the masses.” She said.
The actress’s intervention comes amid mounting public anxiety over regional safety, with local communities increasingly vulnerable to criminal activities.
By naming specific influencers and traditional authorities, Aiyeola has effectively shifted the spotlight onto the civic responsibilities of the region’s elite.
However, her commentary underscores a growing frustration among the public, who feel that those with the direct ear of the government are not doing enough to champion the plight of ordinary citizens.
