Protest not the answer, be patient with Tinubu – Actor Yul Edochie tells Nigerians

Popular actor, Yul Edochie has urged Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu amid calls for protest against the government.

Edochie, who was a staunch supporter of Tinubu during his presidential campaign, assured that the President listens and that he’s doing all he can to make things right.

The thespian made this known via his Instagram account on Friday.

“I acknowledge the hardships. Protest is not the answer,” he wrote, “People take advantage of protests to break into other people’s shops, steal, destroy properties, hurt and kill innocent Nigerians who are already going through a lot. In the end, the aim of the protest will be defeated. Remember what happened during End Sars.”

“Protest is not the answer. Let’s be patient. Let’s keep speaking out and doing all we can to help out. President Tinubu listens and he’s doing all he can to put make things right. Fellow Nigerians, let’s be patient. YUL EDOCHIE,” the actor urged.

Yul Edochie’s admonishment, however, was welcomed with massive backlash as his followers took a different view against his assertions.
