Nollywood actor and movie director Yul Edochie expresses disappointment as he publicly criticise President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, questioning whether the “renewed hope” promised to Nigerians is materialising.
Edochie expressed his frustration over the state of the nation in a social media post, highlighting the growing insecurity, kidnappings, and economic hardship that ordinary Nigerians are facing.
In a heartfelt post, he wrote:
“Dear President Tinubu, bandits are gradually taking over the whole country, spilling the blood of Nigerians at will without consequences. Nigerians are being kidnapped in numbers daily. Things are so expensive, the suffering is unbearable for Nigerians. Is this the renewed hope you promised Nigerians?”
Yul’s remarks underscore growing public frustration over rising insecurity, kidnappings, and economic hardship across the country.
He highlighted the disconnect between government promises and the harsh realities ordinary Nigerians face, including skyrocketing living costs, fear for personal safety, and widespread uncertainty about the future.
Previously a supporter of Tinubu administration, Edochie is now calling on the government to take urgent action and address the daily struggles faced by citizens.
“Social media reactions quickly followed. One commentator wrote, ‘Finally someone is saying what we all are thinking!’ while another added, ‘This is the truth — Nigerians are suffering while leaders remain silent.’”
Edochie’s statement adds to the growing chorus of voices urging President Tinubu and his administration to tackle insecurity and economic woes, reminding leaders that Nigerians expected tangible change when voting for “renewed hope.”
