International business man and Politician, Prince Obinna Ejebi (Nzesinachi) has reaffirmed his commitment to selfless leadership, declaring that his political ambition has always been driven by a desire to serve the people rather than personal gain.
Speaking during an interaction with stakeholders and supporters, Ejebi emphasized that true leadership is defined by impact, integrity, and accountability, not by titles or privileges attached to public office.
Ejebi noted that public service should be viewed as a sacred trust, stressing that those who seek leadership positions must be prepared to place the needs of the people above their own interests. He argued that society progresses when leaders are guided by empathy, fairness, and a genuine understanding of grassroots challenges.
According to him, ambition becomes dangerous when it is detached from service and moral responsibility.
He further criticized what he described as status-driven politics, where public positions are pursued for recognition rather than responsibility. Ejebi lamented that such an approach often widens the gap between leaders and the people they are meant to serve, resulting in policies that fail to address real community needs. He maintained that leadership must be rooted in humility and continuous engagement with constituents.
“Leadership is not about how powerful you appear or how loud your title sounds,” Ejebi stated.
“It is about listening to the people, understanding their struggles, and working tirelessly to provide solutions. When leaders disconnect from the grassroots, governance loses its soul.”
Ejebi also highlighted the importance of transparency and accountability in public life, calling on leaders to remain open to scrutiny and criticism. He stressed that effective service requires honesty and the courage to make decisions that benefit the majority, even when such decisions are politically inconvenient.
“When you truly serve, you must be ready to be held accountable,” he added. “The people have the right to question their leaders, and leaders must have the humility to explain their actions. That is the foundation of trust, and without trust, governance cannot succeed.”
Concluding his remarks, Ejebi urged emerging leaders and political actors to redefine ambition in terms of service and legacy rather than personal advancement. He expressed confidence that a renewed commitment to people-centered leadership would help rebuild faith in governance and inspire a new generation to pursue public service with integrity.
“Our society will only move forward when ambition is measured by service rendered and lives touched,” Ejebi said. “If leadership is truly about service, then the people will always come first, and progress will naturally follow.”
