Eniola Badmus, an actress and Special Assistant for Social Events and Public Hearings to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has once again boldly declared her support for President Bola Tinubu, despite many Nigerians lamenting the economic challenges in the country under his leadership.

Badmus, an ardent supporter who campaigned for Tinubu during the 2023 general election, has reiterated that her stance has not changed despite several criticisms.

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

Recently, Nigerians have begun a #30daysrantchallenge to express their grievances with the country's economy and other issues they face under the Tinubu-led government for the next 30 days.

The actress’s post garnered reactions, with some social media users condemning her for being insensitive to the plight of Nigerians, who are facing hardships as a result of President Tinubu’s poor economic policies.

Here are some 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.”
