Eniola Badmus, actress and Special Assistant for Social Events and Public Hearings to the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Nigeria, Tajudeen Abbas, has reiterated her support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu amid the current economic hardship in the country.

The actress, who campaigned vigorously for Tinubu in the build-up to the 2023 presidential elections, recently declared that her stance on President Tinubu had not changed.

In an Instagram post, she wrote, “[I am] still standing on Daddy Seyi [Tinubu]’s mandate.”

Her post elicited mixed reactions, with some commenters accusing her of being insensitive to the plight of Nigerians, who are facing hardship as a result of President Tinubu’s poor economic policies.

See some of the reactions below:
Olori_Nini wrote: “This is really not the right time to post this. It sounds very insensitive. People are struggling – hungry and frustrated because the economy is tough. If people react negatively, it’s understandable, and honestly, you would have brought it upon yourself.

“No one is saying you shouldn’t support your candidate, but this post feels like a mockery of Nigerians. Maybe you’re not affected by the current economic hardship, but many people are. You can be loyal to your candidate without posting it here.”

Oliver_Of_Lagos wrote: “Anywhere belle face. Celebrity isonu. Nothing lasts forever. The internet is a memory storage device.”

Hypeman Ruby wrote: “As the first son of the family and the breadwinner, this mandate has made my struggles worse. I find it hard to be there for myself, let alone my family. I love you, Baddoskie, but shey e fe gbor ebo npa.”

Alh_Alubarika wrote: “I don’t understand why people are attacking her. Everyone has their own choices. Moreover, that’s where she earns her daily bread, and she can never deny that. If me and you had the same opportunity she has, we would probably do more than her.”
