Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has criticised the administration of President Bola Tinubu over what she described as an inadequate response to the growing insecurity in Nigeria.
In a post shared on Instagram, the actress said the government’s approach to tackling rising cases of violence and abductions reflects a lack of urgency and compassion for citizens.
Jegede argued that insecurity in the country is not only about the incidents themselves but also about what she described as the government’s slow and insufficient reaction to them.
She wrote that Nigerian authorities appear to lack “a sense of humanity,” expressing concern over what she believes is an ongoing failure to adequately protect citizens.
According to her, Nigerians are not being treated with enough respect or urgency, adding that many victims are left without adequate attention or justice following attacks.
She also noted that insecurity in Nigeria transcends tribal, religious, or social divisions, insisting that the issue affects citizens across all backgrounds.
Her comments come amid ongoing national debates over worsening security conditions in parts of the country, including reports of kidnappings and violent crimes.
The post has since generated reactions online, with users expressing mixed opinions on the state of security and the government’s response.
