Knocks, Kudos As Eniola Badmus Reaffirms Support For Tinubu
By Gideon Ayeni
Nollywood actress and Special Assistant for Social Events and Public Hearings to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Eniola Badmus, has once again declared her unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, despite Nigeria’s current economic challenges.
Badmus, who was a vocal advocate for Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election campaign, took to Instagram to reaffirm her loyalty, writing:
“Still standing on Daddy Seyi’s mandate.”
FIRST DAUGHTER (@eniola_badmus)Her statement, however, sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many Nigerians calling her out for what they perceived as insensitivity to the country’s worsening economic situation. While some supported her right to political allegiance, others accused her of ignoring the struggles of ordinary citizens.
Read some netizens’ reactions below:
Olori_Nini:“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.”
Oliver_Of_Lagos: “Anywhere belle face. Celebrity isonu. Nothing lasts forever. The internet is a memory storage device.”
Hypeman Ruby: “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: “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.”
The actress has yet to respond to the backlash, but this is not the first time her political stance has stirred controversy.
