Veteran actor Hanks Anuku has defended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging Nigerians to be patient with his administration and give him time to address the country’s challenges.
Speaking during an interview, Anuku said, “It’s difficult for somebody in Nigeria to help you, you know. And I stick with Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Nigeria has to be patient for this man’s renewal in the country. It was not spoilt by him, you know. There were people there before him now. Why didn’t they go and attack those people? He has to fix it now.”
Asked if he believes Tinubu is doing enough to fix the country, the actor replied, “He’s doing great. Nigeria should be patient. We’re in too much of a hurry.”
Anuku also opened up about losing the mother of his children, revealing that the loss deeply affected him.
“When I lost my woman, you know, mother of my children, it’s deep, and it hurts. I was depressed a bit. Sometimes I miss her, and I just wanted to get out. It’s all good. God loves me more,” he said.
Responding to suggestions that he may have been paid to support Tinubu, Anuku said, “Paid? How many people can be better than him? Because he’s this and that. Most people who are going to come are maybe after, maybe they’re even worse off. So the devil you know is better.”
