RMD made the call while speaking at the 2026 Pivot Nigeria Conference in Lagos, where he acknowledged the various challenges confronting the country.
The actor stressed that identifying problems should be accompanied by practical efforts to address them, rather than simply criticising those in charge.
“There are problems, but we need to fix them. Don’t stand and just criticise and propose no solution,” he said.
RMD also called on Nigerians to demand greater accountability from political leaders, stressing that elected officials must take responsibility for the people they represent.
“We don’t hold leadership accountable enough,” he said.
According to the veteran actor, citizens have a responsibility to ensure that those entrusted with public office understand that they are accountable to the people.
He further urged Nigerians to remember that their individual actions contribute to the country’s image, particularly when they travel or interact with people from other countries.
“Just remember who you are. You are an ambassador, not just for yourself, your parents or your school, but ultimately for your country,” he added.
Describing Nigeria as a “work in progress,” RMD called for patience, responsibility and sustained efforts from both citizens and leaders to contribute to national development.
