Tinubu Is A Financial Wizard. Give Him Two More Years To Change Nigeria — Comedian Gbenga Adeyinka

Veteran comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka has declared his support for President Bola Tinubu, calling him the right person to steer the country towards prosperity.

Speaking on the Our 2 Kobo Podcast, Adeyinka highlighted Tinubu’s track record during his tenure as governor of Lagos state as proof of his capacity to address Nigeria’s economic challenges.

Adeyinka, who revealed that he is a card-carrying member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said he campaigned for Tinubu because he believes the president can fix the country’s problems. He stressed that if Tinubu is unable to resolve Nigeria’s issues, the nation may be in deeper trouble given his ‘’capacity and experience.’’

The comedian praised some of the policies implemented by the Tinubu administration, such as subsidy removal and local government autonomy, but noted that the government needs to be more frugal. Adeyinka also called for patience, saying Tinubu should be given at least two more years as the economic challenges facing Nigeria are not unique but global.

Adeyinka further stated that he previously campaigned for former President Muhammadu Buhari, believing that his military background would help transform the country, but he turned out as someone who “doesn’t know anything”.

He said; “If I’m passionate about you, I’m passionate about you. That’s my problem. And I believe that, and please take this to the bank, if Asiwaju (Tinubu) cannot set Nigeria right, then we’re in trouble. With his capacity, with what he knows, with the fact that he has nothing to gain or lose anymore, if he cannot set Nigeria right, then we’re in trouble. I’m scared for Nigeria.

Even before the election, people were taking sides. Am I happy with the policies of the government? I s¥ffer too. People should not forget that I’m a Nigerian too. Now, am I happy with the policies of Asiwaju? Some yes, some no.
