Tinubu Not Perfect; Give Him More Time - Jide Kosoko
"Tinubu not Perfect; Nigerians should give him more time before Judging his Policies, Reforms: Jide Kosoko
Veteran Nollywood actor Jide Kosoko has defended President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying the president is not God and deserves more time to fix the country. He urged Nigerians not to judge his reforms prematurely.
[b]In an interview with FeelrightnewsTV, the actor spoke in response to questions concerning the growing public criticism against the Tinubu administration, advising Nigerians to have confidence in the president’s policies and reforms.
The actor argued that it was unfair to judge the Tinubu administration before it had fully completed the implementation of policies and reforms, likening the government to a building under construction and warning against reaching conclusions before the completion of the structure.
“If you are building a house, you cannot assess such a building and give it a pass mark until the building is completed, ” Mr Kosoko said.
The actor acknowledged that Mr Tinubu is not perfect, insisting that no leader is, stating “Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not God. That means he cannot be perfect.”
He alleged that opposition groups and activists were influencing younger Nigerians, particularly Gen Z, on public criticisms of the Tinubu administration.
Mr Kosoko stated, “Let me tell you, what those opposing Tinubu are projecting for you to say is what you will be saying. What they have crafted that they want you to carry in your head is what you will carry. They know you, Gen Z, you are easy to manipulate and control. Once they control you, you will all go on overdrive.
“The so-called activists, we know how they take money from government but come out to influence citizens. But when we talk, they accuse us of taking money to support the government. As if we don’t have a mind of our own, as if we don’t have family members suffering or as if we are enjoying well.”
Despite defending the Tinubu administration, he also noted the economic hardship Nigerians are facing, saying that even if the government plans to distribute money to Nigerians, it would be a foolish move given the country’s large population.
