A Nigerian lady has slammed Nigerians who support President Bola Tinubu’s administration simply because they can afford their basic needs, accusing them of turning a blind eye to the struggles of millions of citizens battling poverty.

In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the woman questioned why some Nigerians defend the government just because they can afford food, fuel and electricity, while many households are still struggling with the rising cost of living.

She urged supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to visit rural communities and see firsthand the hardship faced by less privileged Nigerians.

Read what she said below:

“You set of Nigerians supporting Tinubu just because you can afford your own food, fuel and electricity are the most useless set of Nigerians. You have completely forgotten that 63% of the Nigerian population lives below the poverty line. What that means is that millions of people are struggling to survive.

Those of you supporting APC should take the money you think you have, visit rural communities and try feeding hungry Nigerians for the next three months. Let’s see if you won’t become depressed and cry.”

She went on to accuse some supporters of the government of living in a bubble, saying their own financial comfort does not mirror what struggling families are going through.

She also criticised the administration over inflation and the increasing cost of living, stressing that Nigerians need to acknowledge the hardship of those who cannot afford basic necessities.

Her comments have further fuelled the ongoing public conversation about the economy, poverty and how government policies are affecting ordinary Nigerians.
