Eniola Badmus hails Tinubu for Bringing Progress, Hope to Nigeria

Nigerian actress Eniola Badmus faced backlash after celebrating President Tinubu’s first year in office on Instagram, praising him for bringing hope to Nigeria. In a post made early on May 30, 2024, Badmus shared a video of the president and parliament singing the newly reinstated national anthem.

She captioned it,

“Congratulations on your first year in office @officialasiwajubat. Your dedication and leadership have brought significant progress and hope to our nation. We look forward to continued success and growth under your guidance.”

Badmus subsequently faced backlash from some Instagram users who disagreed with her political views.

A user said, “Honestly, I don’t blame you as the current market price of food items is not ur business…u shall definitely get your reward one way or another.”

A staunch supporter of the president, this is not the first time Badmus has faced backlash for her support for him. Similarly in 2022, she received backlash after expressing her support of Tinubu ahead of the 2023 general elections. In 2023 during the election period, she also received criticism for her public support of him.

Last week, she was named Special Adviser to the Speaker, Tajudeen Abass, on Social Events and Public Hearings.
