Renowned Yoruba actress Remi Surutu has defended Nigeria’s current president, Bola Tinubu, amid growing criticism over economic issues and public discontent. 

In a statement reflecting her admiration for the president, she said, “Tinubu, his wife, and his children are extremely good people.”

Remi Surutu attributed some of the challenges facing Tinubu to divisions within the Yoruba community.

 “He is having problems because Yorubas don’t love themselves. They condemn one another,” she remarked, highlighting what she sees as internal conflicts that overshadow the accomplishments of prominent Yoruba leaders.

On the contentious issue of rising petrol prices, which has sparked nationwide debates, the actress was clear in exonerating the president.

 “Asiwaju Tinubu is not responsible for the rise in petrol prices,” she said, emphasizing that the situation is influenced by broader global and national economic factors rather than individual leadership decisions.

The actress’s comments have reignited discussions about ethnic unity, public perception, and political accountability in Nigeria.

 Supporters applaud her defense as a candid acknowledgment of Tinubu’s personal integrity, while critics argue that the complexities of governance mean leaders inevitably share some responsibility for economic hardships.

By speaking out, Remi Surutu has highlighted the importance of community solidarity, responsible discourse, and fair evaluation of leaders, urging Nigerians to distinguish personal character from systemic economic challenges.

 Her statements serve as a reminder that unity and constructive dialogue remain crucial in shaping Nigeria’s political and social landscape.
