Nollywood actor, Hanks Anuku, has said Nigerians should be patient with President Tinubu with fixing the country, as he is not the one who created the problems he is encountering.

In a recent interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Anuku said Nigerians are “too much in a hurry” and should allow the president to deliver on his mandate.

“It’s difficult for somebody in Nigeria to help you. Now, stick with Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Nigeria has to be patient for the renewal of this man. The country was not spoilt by him. There were people there before him. Why didn’t they (Nigerians) go and attack those people? He has to fix it now.”

When asked whether he believed Tinubu was doing enough, Anuku said the president was doing well and again urged Nigerians to be patient.

“He is doing great. Nigeria should be patient. We are too much in a hurry,” he said.

Anuku also dismissed suggestions that he may have been paid to support the president.

“Paid? How many people can be better than him because he is this and that? Most people who are gonna come after, maybe they are even worse. So, the devil you know is better.”
