The nationwide protest is on, and Nigerians are coming out in their numbers to protest, with a good number of celebrities cheering them on from social media.
Actress Tonto Dikeh has taken a different route with regards to the ongoing protest, as she took out time to praise the President for his good deeds and timely development of the country, which is in direct contrast to what the protest is about.
In her post for President Tinubu, Tonto Dikeh wrote;
”Statistics don’t lie: everyone is working to get this country to where we want it to be.
One thing about Nigerians is that if they don’t like you, nothing you do will ever be good enough for them. Let’s not deny this glaring truth. Stay safe and make wise decisions always.”
According to the statistics that Tonto Dikeh posted, foreign reserves, minimum wage, forex backlog, oil production, and debt to revenue ratio has all been improved.
The statistics Tonto Dikeh posted is a direct contradiction to the cause of the protest, which borders on hike in fuel prices, food, and daily amenities.
Tonto Dikeh is the first celebrity in a hot minute to discourage Nigerians from going on a full blown protest, as many of her colleagues are calling for the nationwide protest to hold at all means.
Regardless, Tonto Dikeh isn’t the first celebrity to openly support President Tinubu , as the likes of Toyin Abraham and Yul Edochie have openly shared their support for him.
Toyin Abraham has faced a lot of backlash because of her support for President Tinubu, and it was basically based on the premise that she said he had told her the plans he has for Nigeria.
Netizens had insisted that she should tell them the plans, and some even went as far as abusing her online.
It got to the point that Toyin Abraham arrested one of her trolls, and that made things worse, as there was a huge movement to boycott her completely.
