Inibehe Effiong Challenges Nigerians Backing Tinubu Amid Growing Hardship
Barrister Inibehe Effiong has reignited debate online by questioning why many Nigerians continue to defend President Bola Tinubu despite worsening insecurity, rising food prices and economic strain. In a post shared widely on social media, the human rights lawyer argued that supporters suffer the same threats from kidnappers and hunger as critics, yet still champion the government’s leadership. He wrote, “When kidnappers invade communities and schools, they do not separate Tinubu/APC supporters from those against the regime.” Reactions have been strong and divided. Some agree that the scale of hardship and insecurity makes blind support hard to justify. Others feel Tinubu has not had enough time in office for Nigerians to dismiss his administration. As Nigerians voice frustration over daily transport costs, food inflation and safety concerns, the conversation around leadership accountability continues to trend online — with supporters and opponents clashing on whether constant criticism offers solutions.
