By Toluwa Catherine

Actor Yomi Black has received backlash over his public support for presidential aspirant Bola Tinubu.

The actor took to his Instagram page to post a message and reasons Tinubu should be voted as president of the country.

Listing the achievements Tinubu has contributed to Nigerians, he wrote, “Honestly, I don’t mind Bola Tinubu as president. If I am being realistic, leadership has nothing to do with age. We have seen young and old terrible leaders.

“Anyway these are my tots .

1) He is one of the few that can politically achieve it.

2) He has done a better job as a leader than both Jonathan and Buhari. Lagos is still the best state in Nigeria.

3)He is very smart and he makes decisions while carrying people along.

4) He is not petty and won’t ban twitter because of Ego.

5) Money will flow.

6) He will create better leaders after him.

7) I can’t see any other realistic option.”

As expected, this has created an uproar on Instagram. Some Nigerians reacting to his post asked the actor how much he was paid.

One of the comments read: “They have pay this one, how much?” Another read, “How much you collect.”

Another user wrote, “N Help us increase our debts well enough to disturb generations coming n his generations will be swimming in more stolen wealth. I see u o.”

Another concerned citizen wrote, “Una done start rationalizing wetin de clearly bad!!! A desperate old sick man na eem you de stan? Whatever happened to the youths? Abeg rest, bro!!!!”
