Fans Slam Bolanle Ninalowo After Announcing Pro-Tinubu Appointment

 

OpenLife Nigeria reports that Nollywood actor Bolanle Ninalowo has come under intense online criticism following his public declaration of support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

The controversy erupted after the actor announced his appointment as the Coordinator of the Relax Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria (RTIFN) association in Atlanta, United States.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Ninalowo expressed pride in the role, writing:

“Honoured to serve as Coordinator! Atlanta/USA for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. RTIFN.”

The post quickly triggered a wave of backlash from fans and social media users, many of whom voiced disappointment and accused the actor of aligning with a government they believe has failed to ease Nigeria’s economic and social challenges.

While a few supporters defended his right to political affiliation, the dominant reaction online reflected growing frustration among Nigerians and renewed debate over the role of celebrities in partisan politics.

As the debate continues, Bolanle Ninalowo’s announcement underscores the increasingly complex intersection of celebrity influence and politics in Nigeria.

While public figures have the right to express their political views, the strong reactions from fans highlight how sensitive political endorsements can be, especially in a country navigating economic and social challenges.

The actor’s next move whether to respond to critics or remain silent will likely shape public perception of his role both on and off the screen.
