A Nigerian lady who identifies as an All Progressives Congress (APC) supporter has defended President Bola Tinubu following criticism over SUVs reportedly shared with youth leaders, arguing that Nigerians should allow him to play his political game.
In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the woman questioned why people were complaining about the vehicles, asking whether critics would reject an SUV if they were offered one as youth leaders.
She maintained that governance and leadership were not easy, describing Tinubu as a great politician who was doing everything possible to win the next election.
“Tinubu shared ordinary SUVs, and you people are complaining. If you were one of the youth leaders and you were offered an SUV, wouldn’t you accept it? Governance is not an easy task, and being a leader is not easy.
“Tinubu is a great politician who is only doing everything possible to win the election. After all, politics is a game of who knows how to play it best,”she stated.
The APC supporter further accused critics of allowing their emotions to influence their reactions, insisting that Tinubu’s political approach differed from theirs.
She also argued that poverty would persist in Nigeria regardless of who became president, suggesting that even Peter Obi would face public criticism if he assumed office.
“You people are just being emotional. Tinubu’s political mentality is different from yours, so you should allow him to play his politics.
“And to round it up, poverty no fit finish for Nigeria. If them like make them bring Peter Obi, people will still complain,” she added.
Her remarks have brought renewed attention to discussions about political patronage, the distribution of vehicles to youth leaders and public expectations of political officeholders.
