Cynthia Morgan Weighs In on Tinubu’s government Amid Economic Criticism
Nigerian singer Cynthia Morgan, also known as Madrina, has shared a different perspective on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration amid growing public dissatisfaction.
Her remarks follow a viral video of an NYSC corps member in Lagos who harshly criticized the government over the rising cost of living.
The corps member’s comments, which labelled Tinubu’s administration as “terrible,” reportedly led to alleged threats from NYSC officials, triggering widespread reactions from Nigerians, including comedian Mr Macaroni.
In response, Cynthia Morgan took to her Instagram stories, acknowledging Nigeria’s economic difficulties but asserting that Tinubu is not the worst president in Nigeria’s history.
She referenced the book Soldier of Fortune by Max Siollun to support her viewpoint.
However, she did criticize the government’s approach to fuel subsidy removal, arguing that while the decision itself was significant, its execution was flawed.
“Tinubu is not the most terrible president Nigeria ever had, but nevertheless, removing 100 percent of subsidy was a terrible move,” she wrote. “It is not too late to do something, though.
At least if fuel is ₦500, the cost of living will reduce. It’s only right we ease into total subsidy removal with the right development and infrastructure to sustain such decisions. A baby can’t go from milk to yam in just a day. Abeg consider us,” she added.
Her comments have sparked online debates, with many Nigerians weighing in on whether her perspective reflects the realities of the current economic crisis.
