[TRENDING VIDEO] Reactions trail as man who voted for Tinubu in 2023 laments hardship, fears losing home

A Nigerian man who voted for President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election has expressed regret over his decision, blaming economic hardship for his worsening financial situation.

The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, said he had not eaten since morning and had gone from owning two cars and living in a comfortable apartment to struggling to pay his rent.

“I voted for President Tinubu in 2023, thinking he would do well, but he disappointed us,” he said.

He explained that rising living costs had made it increasingly difficult to meet his basic needs, adding that he feared losing his accommodation if he could no longer afford the rent.

The man also called on the president to step aside, suggesting that Tinubu should allow someone else to lead the country.

His comments, shared in a video on social media, have sparked discussions about the cost of living, rising housing expenses and the impact of economic policies on ordinary Nigerians.

The video has attracted mixed reactions, with some social media users expressing sympathy for the man while others questioned whether the hardship would influence his political choices in the 2027 general election.
