Veteran Nollywood actor Jide Kosoko says President Bola Tinubu’s administration is working to address Nigeria’s problems and that conditions are not as bad as some critics claim. Kosoko makes the argument as he responds to public concern over the country’s economic situation.
Kosoko speaks on the “Talk To B” podcast hosted by actress Biola Adebayo, with the comments reported by multiple Nigerian outlets. He acknowledges that Nigerians are experiencing hardship, but argues that the administration’s reforms are correcting issues linked to decades of poor planning and unsustainable spending. Other coverage focuses on his broader call for Nigerians to consider the overall situation and what has changed since Tinubu took office, rather than focusing only on present difficulties.
Across the reports, the common emphasis is that Kosoko is defending Tinubu in the face of criticism, framing progress as ongoing rather than absent. The outlets differ mainly in how they describe his reasoning and the context of the criticism, rather than in the basic substance of his claims.
