This reaction followed comments by veteran actor Jide Kosoko, who argued that President Tinubu should be given more time to address the country's problems. Similar criticism has previously been directed at other public figures, including actor Zack Orji and Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over statements or positions that some Nigerians interpreted as supportive of the administration.
Critics argue that many influential figures only speak out when national issues directly affect them or their families. They believe public personalities have a responsibility to hold leaders accountable regardless of political affiliation. Supporters of the administration, however, maintain that significant reforms take time and that the government should be given the opportunity to implement its policies before its performance is fully assessed.
The debate continues to reflect the deep political divide in Nigeria, with citizens expressing sharply different views on the Tinubu administration and the role of prominent figures in national discourse.
