Popular comedian Mr Jollof has stirred fresh debate online after publicly defending Bola Ahmed Tinubu and criticising Nigerians who question the President’s performance since taking office in 2023.
In a trending video shared on his Instagram page, the comedian argued that those asking what Tinubu has achieved are either not paying attention or are unwilling to acknowledge progress in the country.
“This is a message to you all that are asking what President Tinubu has done since he resumed office. If you don’t know what he has done, that means you have a problem with yourself and you have a problem with the growth of Nigeria,” he said.
Mr Jollof pointed to the removal of fuel subsidy as a bold first step by the administration, noting that although the decision was widely criticised, the President had warned Nigerians that the move would be difficult at the beginning but beneficial in the long run.
He went on to list what he described as key achievements of the current government, including local government autonomy, increased allocations to states, and the introduction of a student loan scheme for undergraduates.
The comedian also referenced improved fuel supply, the absence of prolonged ASUU strikes, and what he sees as better security conditions, insisting that there have been noticeable changes since Tinubu assumed office.
“He restructured the local government and gave them their autonomy. Students collect loans now to assist their education. Since President Tinubu became president, have you heard of ASUU strike?” he added.
His remarks have since generated mixed reactions on social media. While some Nigerians applauded his position and praised the administration’s reforms, others argued that many citizens are still grappling with economic hardship and rising living costs.
