You are the ones people see on our screen. This campaign is not just about Government or the Police, it is about us, it is about the role you can play to drive the campaign to your fans so we all can be the change we desire for our nation” He said
According to ASP Iheanachor, ”Change Begins With Me” is geared towards achieving an attitudinal change among Nigerians. ”What we are saying is that our attitude of throwing something on the road, the poor attitude to work, urinating by the road side among others are things we must change.

In his response, the Lagos State Chairman of Actors Guild of Nigeria Don Pedro Aganbi said that the concept of “Change begins with me” is symbolic at this critical time in our nation. “Indeed, we live in times when our moral values are being relegated to the background and no more respect for our national symbols. This is an initiative we all should support and if the Nigerian Police is preaching “Change” then we in Nollywood have no excuse not to embrace change. The AGN Lagos Chairman said
The Lagos AGN Boss also offered some useful suggestions that can push the “Change begins with me” campaign into limelight; like production of a weekly soap opera and skilts that can help create awareness about the campaign.
