Yoruba Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus has expressed support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying Nigerians are already benefiting from the reforms introduced by his government.
The actress also known as “Baddosky” made the remarks during a live video session with media personality Daddy Freeze, where she defended Tinubu’s policies and criticised what she described as some Nigerians’ unwillingness to acknowledge his achievements.
She said, “Tinubu Has Done a Lot For Nigeria. Some Nigerians Don’t Like The Truth, Especially When It Concerns President Tinubu. He Has Introduced So Many Good Reforms That Nigerians Are Now Benefiting From, Including The Tax Reforms And NELFUND. Tinubu Has Done Well In The Education Sector And Should Be Applauded For That.
“That’s Why I’m Campaigning And Voting For Him, And He Will Win. Some People Think Elections Are Won On Social Media. Being Popular On Social Media Does Not Guarantee That You Will Win An Election. The Grassroots Are The Key, And Tinubu Has Them.”
Tinubu deserves recognition – Eniola Badmus
Badmus maintained that Tinubu deserves recognition for the changes introduced since he assumed office in May 2023.
She also declared her intention to campaign and vote for the president in the 2027 general election, expressing confidence in his chances of winning.
The actress argued that social media popularity does not necessarily translate into electoral success, stressing the importance of grassroots support.
Badmus has previously participated in Tinubu’s political activities. Ahead of the 2023 general election, she was appointed to the Creative Arts Directorate of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.
Tinubu’s administration has introduced several economic reforms, including the removal of petrol subsidy, foreign exchange market reforms and changes to the tax system.
The policies have generated mixed reactions, with supporters arguing that they are necessary to stabilise the economy, while critics have raised concerns about their impact on the cost of living.
