Vee Iy Critiques Celebrities Backing Tinubu Amid Crisis

Vee Iy, a Nigerian reality TV star, publicly criticized celebrities who are endorsing President Bola Tinubu during a time of significant economic and security challenges in Nigeria. In a podcast hosted by Korti, she expressed her concerns regarding the endorsements from public figures, questioning whether they are motivated by financial gain or genuine belief in Tinubu's administration.

Vee highlighted the increasing hardships faced by the middle class and implied that popularity does not equate to sound judgment. Her remarks come at a time when public dissatisfaction with Tinubu's administration is growing, particularly following violent incidents, including a recent attack on March 29, where gunmen killed 20 people in Angwan Rukuba, Jos.

Prominent figures such as Peter Okoye, Mr. Macaroni, and Nathaniel Bassey have condemned the violence, indicating a broader concern among celebrities regarding national issues.
