An All Progressives Congress (APC) supporter, Balami Guru, has stirred controversy after calling on Nigerians to endure the country’s economic hardship and re-elect President Bola Tinubu for a second term, despite revealing that his family lives outside the country.
Guru made the remarks while expressing support for Tinubu’s administration and his ambition to secure another four-year term in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking during the discussion, the APC supporter openly disclosed that his family was not based in Nigeria and that he had residency in another country.
He said, “My family is not in Nigeria, I have residency in another country, but Nigerians must endure the hardship and vote President Tinubu for second term.”
His statement has drawn attention, particularly because he acknowledged that his family lives outside Nigeria while urging citizens who remain in the country to continue bearing the economic difficulties.
Nigeria has been grappling with rising living costs, increasing food prices, transportation expenses and other economic pressures, leaving many households struggling to meet their daily needs.
The economic situation has remained a major subject of public debate, with Nigerians expressing different opinions about the Federal Government’s policies and their impact on living conditions.
While supporters of Tinubu have continued to defend his administration and argue that more time is needed for its policies to produce results, critics have questioned the hardship citizens have had to endure.
Guru’s remarks have further fuelled conversations about the country’s economic situation, political accountability and the expectations of Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general election.
