- Edochie urges Tinubu to crush kidnappers and violent gangs. He even suggests seeking foreign help if security fails.
Actor Yul Edochie has gone public with fresh worries. He wrote an open letter to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The message questioned rising insecurity and hardship under the current government.
In the first post, Edochie addressed Tinubu as “Dear President”. He said bandits were gradually taking over the whole country. According to him, they were spilling the blood of Nigerians at will.
Edochie complained that Nigerians were being kidnapped in large numbers daily. He added that prices had soared, making suffering unbearable for many. His plea joined other stars’ stronger security calls.
In another slide, he asked, “Is this the renewed hope?” The actor said Tinubu had the power to crush bandits. He noted that kidnappers share killings online, turning violence into daily content.
Edochie described the unchecked attacks as a slap on Tinubu’s face. He wrote that Nigerians were now afraid to travel or move around. According to him, innocent lives were being wasted every single day.
The filmmaker urged the president to seek foreign help if necessary. He said Nigeria should “Go hard on these criminals” and crush them. In his view, weak action only emboldens gangs behind the chaos.
Nigeria has battled waves of banditry, kidnappings and terror for years. Attacks on highways and villages continue to cause fear across regions. Security debates remain heated, from policy circles to online discussions.
Just days earlier, ex defence chief Lucky Irabor raised alarms. He warned that some politicians fund terrorism and worsen security fights. Those comments, reported in fresh warnings about politicians funding terrorism, added pressure on leaders.
Celebrities have increasingly used their platforms to speak about insecurity. Singer Harrysong recently urged Tinubu to raise pay for troops. He argued that better welfare could help stop constant attacks.
Tinubu campaigned on a “Renewed Hope” slogan during the 2023 race. The agenda promised economic relief, better security and new opportunities. Critics now say rising prices and attacks contradict that message.
Edochie framed his letters as the voice of worried citizens. He stressed that many Nigerians feel abandoned amid growing hardship. The actor urged Tinubu to act quickly before trust collapses further.
The Nollywood star often shares strong political views on his social pages. His recent posts gained wide traction and sparked debates online. Reactions were mixed, with both praise and complaints in the comments.
The posts arrived during wider talks on Nigeria’s security path. Policy makers, religious leaders and entertainers keep debating possible next steps. Many Nigerians continue to watch for practical changes in daily life.
Edochie’s words capture a mix of anger and tired hope. He acknowledged Tinubu’s power but insisted results remain painfully slow. For him, strong leadership means confronting bandits head on without delay.
The debate also raises deeper questions about long term security reforms. Experts often call for better policing, job creation and justice systems. Online voices like Edochie’s keep pressure on leaders to deliver.
His posts, answered or not, reflect current public tension. For now, many Nigerians read the letters and share their views. The wider question remains how quickly promised hope can feel real.
