Nollywood actor Niyi Raphael has shared his perspective on the continued opposition to President Bola Tinubu, pointing to the 2023 presidential election as a major reason.

Speaking during a recent interview, the actor claimed that some supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi have not moved on from Tinubu’s victory.

According to him, the resentment has continued even after the election and has influenced how some critics view the President’s actions.

Ralph argued that the criticism of Tinubu is not primarily about the Nigerian economy.

The actor said some Obidients are still upset because they believed their preferred candidate had won the election.

“People’s anger was because he won the 2023 election after all Nigeria has experienced,” Ralph said.

He added that some supporters of Obi were “still hurt” over the outcome, claiming that this explains why they condemn Tinubu’s actions regardless of whether they consider them positive or negative.

“And you know because of that hurt there’s nothing you want do whether good or bad, they’ll condemn it,” he added.

El-Rufai: Tension as ADC criticises Tinubu

Abdullahi alleged that El-Rufai's continued custody was politically motivated and designed to sideline him from the 2027 elections.

El-Rufai is facing separate trials by the DSS and ICPC, with his bail application dismissed in early July, while his wives appealed to Tinubu for help.
