Nollywood actor Yul Edochie’s recent encounter with Seyi Tinubu, President Bola Tinubu’s son, has sparked outrage on Nigerian social media, eliciting a flurry of diverse and passionate opinions.
Edochie came to Instagram to announce the news, confidently claiming that President Tinubu will be the savior to guide the country out of its current state of instability.
President Tinubu has faced public criticism since assuming office, primarily as a result of the disputed elimination of the fuel subsidy. This contentious decision has put many Nigerians into economic difficulty, causing significant resentment and criticism.
Despite the storm, Edochie remains an enthusiastic supporter of the president. He strongly advised Nigerians to be calm and believe that Tinubu will keep his promises to transform the country.
Edochie’s Instagram post was a beacon of optimism, full of grandiose promises and positive rhetoric.
He posted videos and photographs of them shaking hands and taking comfortable, close-up selfies with broad, glowing smiles.
“With my brother, the first son of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Seyi Tinubu. We had a wonderful, progressive meeting as he endorsed the RELAX, JAGABAN WILL FIX NIGERIA movement. Lots of life changing projects for the youths and all Nigerians hitting the ground soon. Great plans ahead. All will be well with Nigeria.
“ASIWAJU BOY 100%.
NO LEAVE NO TRANSFER.”

The actor’s support for Tinubu’s leadership was seen by many as a betrayal, stoking the fires of public dissatisfaction.
