Yul Edochie Faces Backlash for Supporting President Tinubu Amid Economic Crises

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has stirred controversy once again with his public support for Nigeria’s president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In a recent Instagram post, Yul showcased his commitment by wearing an outfit emblazoned with the president’s face, accompanied by a caption expressing his belief that “Baba will fix it.” This statement comes amid ongoing economic challenges facing the nation.

Yul Edochie’s shift in allegiance became evident after Tinubu’s election victory, where he withdrew his support for the Labour Party’s candidate, Peter Obi, to back the current president. A year into Tinubu’s administration, the actor has remained steadfast in his endorsement, asserting that positive change is on the horizon. His recent post reassured Nigerians, saying, “All will be well. Baba will fix it. 100% belief in Jagaban.”

However, his declaration has ignited a wave of mixed reactions from netizens. Many users took to the comments to voice their skepticism about Tinubu’s ability to effect real change, particularly in light of the country’s economic difficulties. Some reactions included:

• love_emmazy: “One appointment you no go see😂.”
• eldercallistus_0147: “E no supposed better for you.”
• Olajumokeaduni01: “And some people go think say dis guy still dey normal..make Dem call all him family members nah😢.”
• ogbewicynthia1000: “May Tinubu fix your life the way he’s fixing Nigerians own 🙏.”
• unstoppableabt: “Captions don change. Na small small. Na to clean the shirt writeup remain. Bros no appointment for u.”

Furthermore, Yul Edochie recently shared advice directed at the youth, urging them to prioritize their well-being over material possessions like cars and phones, emphasizing that such items are temporary. This advice, however, was met with mockery from fans, who referenced his second marriage to Judy Austin, hinting at perceived contradictions in his guidance.
