“All Will Be Well, Baba Will Fix It” Yul Edochie’s Support for Tinubu Sparks Social Media Backlash
Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has sparked heated reactions on social media after expressing his confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s ability to lead Nigeria to greatness.
In a recent post on X (formally Twitter), The controversial actor shared his optimism, stating, “All will be well. Baba will fix it,” referring to Tinubu as “Baba” and encouraging Nigerians to believe in the president’s administration.
Edochie’s message of support comes at a time when many Nigerians are struggling with high inflation, rising fuel costs, and the impacts of recent economic reforms implemented by Tinubu’s government. While the actor’s words were meant to inspire hope, they instead provoked an online backlash, with many social media users voicing frustration over his unwavering support for the president despite the current economic hardships.
Some fans quickly got angry and expressed disappointment, accusing Edochie of being insensitive to the difficulties ordinary Nigerians are facing. Others criticized him for placing blind faith in a government they feel has yet to deliver tangible improvements.
This isn’t the first time Edochie has shared controversial opinions on social media, but this statement appears to have struck a nerve, reflecting the high tension surrounding Nigeria’s economic challenges. Supporters of Edochie, however, have praised his optimism, urging Nigerians to show patience and unity. The mixed reactions shows the deep divisions within Nigeria on the issue of Tinubu’s leadership and the nation’s future trajectory.
