In a video shared via his official Instagram handle on Thursday, November 12, 2026, the entertainer urged Nigerians to shift their scrutiny toward elected officials at the local government tier rather than focusing solely on federal authorities.
Identifying himself as an indigene of Port Harcourt, Sabinus expressed deep concern over the deteriorating state of public infrastructure in several communities across the South-South region, despite the statutory funds disbursed monthly to local councils.
The comedian questioned why many local government chairmen fail to provide basic public amenities, such as functional streetlights, within their jurisdictions.
Citing Rivers State as a case study, Sabinus further compared the developmental footprint of regional interventionist agencies with that of state administrations, asserting that the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) was executing more visible community projects in parts of the South-South than certain state governments.
His remarks add to ongoing public discourse surrounding grassroots accountability and fiscal transparency following recent federal measures aimed at strengthening local government financial autonomy across Nigeria.
