Popular comedian Mr Jollof has stirred reactions on social media after defending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and criticising Nigerians who continue to question his performance since he assumed office in May 2023.

He explained that from the first day Tinubu entered office, the fuel subsidy was removed, and the move attracted heavy criticism but was presented as a necessary step for long-term benefits.
“This is a message to you all that are asking what President Tinubu has done since he resumed office. If you don’t know what he has done, that means you have a problem with yourself and you have a problem with the growth of Nigeria. From the very first day Tinubu entered office, he removed subsidy, everyone cursed him. But he told us that this step he took won’t be easy, and at the end of the day everybody will enjoy it.”
Mr Jollof went on to list what he described as key achievements of the administration, including granting autonomy to local governments, increasing allocations to states, and introducing a student loan scheme for undergraduates.
“He restructured the local government and gave them their autonomy. Students collect loans now to assist their education. Since President Tinubu became president, have you heard of ASUU strike?”
The comedian also mentioned fuel supply stability and improvements in security as signs of visible change under the current government.

"Most times, hatred can actually cause blindness. Some can't even tell you the reason why they hate Tinubu, some even hate because their friends hate the man."
@iamchikeagada commented:
"Since the APC is confident about the good that Mr. President has done, then a free and fair election must be allowed. Let the people of Nigeria decide. @mr.jollof_ I know you to be someone who stands for what is right. While you are standing on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's mandate, also be an advocate for a free and fair election. It is paramount that Nigerians decide who will lead them."
