Veteran actor Jide Kosoko defended President Bola Tinubu’s administration amid criticism of the country’s economic situation, saying it is not as bad as critics portray.
The 72-year-old actor made the remarks during an interview on “Talk To B”, a podcast hosted by his colleague, actress Biola Adebayo. The video was posted on YouTube on Friday night.
He said Mr Tinubu was making strenuous efforts to address the country’s problems.
Kosoko, an open supporter of the president and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), also argued that the current administration was facing criticism for problems inherited from previous governments
He said: “People don’t queue to make money; everybody works for their money and business. Things are not as bad as some people made us understand. People make money here and there. Some people might still be unlucky, but that doesn’t mean their time will not come. It is not turn by turn. You can have your money today; my own time can come today too. I need not wait for you. It all depends on what I do and what you do.
“The situation of things now is because the country’s previous governments really did not plan towards the population that was increasing. That was the main problem. They didn’t prepare enough for the gradual population increase. If they had met these challenges, we might not have so many problems on the ground, which Bola Ahmed Tinubu is now fixing. He’s now fixing the country.”
