Gbenga Adeyinka: If Tinubu fails to fix our problems we’re in Big Trouble

In a recent podcast appearance, renowned Nigerian comedian Gbenga Adeyinka voiced his unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu, asserting that the country could be in serious trouble if Tinubu, with his extensive experience and nothing to gain or lose, is unable to solve Nigeria’s pressing problems.

“If Tinubu cannot set Nigeria on the right path, then we’re in deep trouble,” he warned. “His capacity and knowledge should be enough to steer the country towards prosperity, given his track record as the former governor of Lagos State.”

Adeyinka, who disclosed his membership in the APC and his personal endorsement of Tinubu, highlighted the country’s wasteful spending and governance issues, stating, “I see a lot of restructuring taking place, but there are still missteps like buying unnecessary cars for national assembly members. That’s an unnecessary oppression of the people, who are already suffering.”

He also acknowledged the constitutional rights of citizens to protest, but emphasized the importance of addressing issues through legal means.

“Protesting is a fundamental right, but you can’t use illegality to remove someone legally elected,” he added.

The comedian, reflecting on the ongoing political and social issues facing the country, expressed a sense of foreboding for the future if Tinubu is unable to make a positive impact.

“It’s scary to think that if Tinubu can’t make things right in Nigeria with all his capabilities, then what hope do we have? We must be scared for the future of our country,” he said.

Adeyinka’s statements highlight the deep-rooted concerns and uncertainties that many Nigerians are facing as the country navigates complex social, economic, and political issues.

Adeyinka’s comments shed light on the complex and often conflicting opinions held by many Nigerians regarding the country’s leadership and governance.

While many are disillusioned with the current state of affairs and perceive the government as wasteful and corrupt, others, like Adeyinka, still have faith in the potential for positive change, particularly under the leadership of someone with Tinubu’s experience and political savvy.

This division of opinion reflects the multifaceted challenges facing Nigeria as it strives to overcome long-standing issues of inequality, poverty, and corruption.
