Nollywood actor Aremu Afolayan has publicly expressed support for Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election, commending the administration’s efforts despite ongoing economic concerns.
Speaking at a campaign event, Afolayan defended the government’s policies and shared his personal perspective, stating that he is thriving even amid the country’s current economic challenges.
The actor highlighted Tinubu’s diplomatic engagement with the United Arab Emirates, particularly efforts that contributed to lifting travel restrictions previously imposed on Nigerians. He described the development as a positive step that reinforced his support for the president.
According to Afolayan, while Nigeria faces multiple challenges, he believes public discourse has been overly critical of the government’s actions. He argued that the administration is making efforts to address key issues and foster national unity.
On the issue of security, the actor downplayed reports of insurgency, suggesting that such narratives are exaggerated. His comments come amid ongoing national conversations around safety and stability in different parts of the country.
Afolayan’s remarks add to the growing list of public endorsements and criticisms shaping political discussions as Nigeria gradually approaches the next election cycle.
