Renowned Nollywood actor, Ebun Oloyede, popularly known as Olaiya Igwe, has openly voiced his disappointment with the performance of President Bola Tinubu’s government.
Olaiya Igwe, who gained attention during the 2023 election for his unconventional prayers at Eko beach for Tinubu’s victory, expressed regret over the country’s current state under the president’s leadership.
In a video message, Olaiya Igwe stated that despite his efforts during Tinubu’s campaign, the current realities in Nigeria reveal widespread dissatisfaction and suffering among the people due to the economic impacts of Tinubu’s policies.
The actor acknowledged that while the president may be trying, the positive outcomes are not visible due to the influence of people surrounding him.
He urged President Tinubu to identify practical solutions that would bring about positive transformation in the country, emphasizing the need for a national monitoring team to assess the performance of those assigned tasks.
Olaiya Igwe warned that if tangible changes are not implemented promptly, the president may soon face the same barrage of insults and criticism that his supporters, including Olaiya Igwe himself, have been receiving.
His words: “I did not regret the efforts I made during your campaign because you had personally saved my life one time before. But I want to say something this time around.
“Nigerians are not happy with your government. They are crying. They did not see their expectation from you. And I know you are trying but it is not showing.
“And you caused it, you are the reason Nigerians did not see your efforts because of people surrounding you. Those people working with you did not allow your efforts to yield results progressively.
“You know people in the political circle, if not you would not have chosen Wike to control Abuja, and he is doing well, and I want you to remember the words of Sanusi Lamido, Ex-CBN Governor, his words are meaningful and you supposed to have used some of his words and work on them but it seems you have neglected them.
“I beg you to constitute a National monitoring team so that if you assign a task to someone, you will be able to monitor the performance.
“If you don’t take steps to amend the current situation in the country, the way I am receiving alerts of insults, you will soon start receiving the same insults.
“I know people surrounding you, some are good, but the majority of them are working against the progress of your government. You know them.
“Forget politics and make meaningful changes. With this, the insults and abuse we (your supporters) are receiving will be reduced. If not, you too will soon be receiving the insults.”
