Many Nigerians have continued to drag Nollywood stars Kunle Afolayan, Yomi Fash-Lanso, Ayo Adesanya and Remi Surutu, among others, for launching a new support group for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.
This comes amid the growing economic hardship across the country.
The group ‘Eko 57 Movement’, which was launched in Lagos State on Sunday, is coordinated by actor Lege Miami.
Reacting to a video of the event, which is trending online, many Nigerians criticised the celebrities for not being honest with the situation of things across Nigeria.
Netizens warned that no celebrities should come out again to solicit financial assistance when they get ill.
While noting that mandatory real-time transmission of results is the only movement Nigeria is in need of, netizens listed poor health system, insecurity, poor electricity supply, corruption and high cost of living among other hardships faced by Nigerians under President Tinubu’s led government.
Reacting to the controversial group, an X user @fhemiwrld wrote: “It’s just embarrassing. No light. Fuel price increased. U don’t talk about it. Shame on Y’all.”
