Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has strongly criticised supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government, linking them to the worsening insecurity in Nigeria.
Her comments followed the recent attack in Oyo State, where schoolchildren and teachers were abducted, and a teacher was k!lled. The incident has further intensified public concern over the rising wave of kidnappings and insecurity across the country.
The actress expressed anger over the situation, saying it has become unbearable for ordinary Nigerians. She took to her Instagram story to accuse Tinubu’s supporters of being complicit in the crisis, using very strong words to express her frustration.
“Every SUPPORTER of TINUBU is a Kidnapper, K!ller, Beheader & Corrupt individual. Deal with your Conscience. Yvonne Jegede says so.”
She later expanded her thoughts on her Instagram page, stressing that she is not a politician, economist, activist, or freedom fighter, but simply a citizen demanding basic human rights and better living conditions.
Jegede lamented that national conversations are no longer focused on issues like hunger, poor policies, lack of education, healthcare challenges, and unemployment. Instead, she noted that kidnapping has now become the central issue in the country.
“I am not an economist, neither am I a political scientist. I am not an activist nor a freedom fighter, I just know that value added to life is every human being’s right. We are not even addressing hunger nor bad policies, we are not talking about subsidies and lack of education nor lack of health care neither do we remember that employment sef no dey. It is kidnapping we are now addressing. KIDNAPPING?? As in to dey kidnap people??? Una don dey mad for this country. Are you people not ashamed??? Kidnapping?? You mean banditry is now a pandemic in Nigeria??? You people make me shame. All the men and women in power who are involved in this, SHAME.”
Her remarks have since sparked mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians debating her comments amid growing frustration over the country’s worsening security situation.
