In an interview, actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo offered a scathing assessment of President Bola Tinubu administration’s two-year economic performance.
Speaking during a segment titled “State of the Nation” on a news program, Kenneth Okonkwo argued that praising the Tinubu administration would be foolish given the economic hardships faced by Nigerians. “There’s no way anybody will be praising this Government without appearing like a fool,” he stated, his tone reflecting deep frustration.
Kenneth Okonkwo specifically argued against the removal of the fuel subsidy, a policy implemented early in the life of the Tinubu administration describing it as a significant misstep. He blamed the decision for exacerbating the already dire economic situation, leading to increased hardship for citizens. “Praising Tinubu’s Government makes one look like a fool as he slams fuel subsidy removal and rising hardship,” he added, emphasizing the disconnect between policy decisions and their impact on the populace.
