Hardship: Yul Edochie preaches against planned protest

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has urged Nigerians to call off the planned nationwide protest organised over the hardship in the country.

The movie producer and staunch supporter of President Bola Tinubu appealed to the people to give the president more time to five the country.

In a post he made on his Instagram on Friday, the thespian assured that Tinubu will do his best to make things right.

“I acknowledge the hardships. Protest is not the answer,” he wrote, “People take advantage of protests to break into other people’s shops, steal, destroy properties, hurt and kill innocent Nigerians who are already going through a lot. In the end, the aim of the protest will be defeated. Remember what happened during End Sars.”

“Protest is not the answer. Let’s be patient. Let’s keep speaking out and doing all we can to help out. President Tinubu listens and he’s doing all he can to put make things right. Fellow Nigerians, let’s be patient,” the actor said.

His advice, however, welcomed massive backlash as his followers took a different view against his assertions.
