Popular comedian Mr. Jollof has stirred up online discussions by defending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. And criticizing Nigerians who question his achievements since taking office in 2023.
In a viral video shared on his Instagram page, Mr. Jollof claimed that people questioning the President’s accomplishments. Either aren’t paying attention or don’t genuinely care about Nigeria’s progress.
“To those asking what President Tinubu has done so far, if you don’t know, that’s on you. It’s about your perspective and how you see Nigeria’s growth. From day one, he removed the fuel subsidy, which many criticized. But he warned it would be tough at first, and eventually, everyone would benefit,” he said.
Mr. Jollof highlighted what he considers key achievements of the administration. These include granting autonomy to local governments, increasing state allocations, and introducing a student loan program for undergraduates.
He also pointed out improvements in fuel availability, the absence of prolonged ASUU strikes, and progress in security. Saying these are signs of positive change under Tinubu’s leadership.
“Local governments now have their independence, students can get loans for their education. And since Tinubu took office, we haven’t seen the usual ASUU strikes,” he added.
His comments have sparked mixed reactions online. While some praised his defense and acknowledged the administration’s reforms, others remain worried about the country’s ongoing economic struggles.
