Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Shan George, has questioned President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, saying his current performance does not reflect his record as Lagos State governor.

She made this known on Monday in a post shared on her Facebook page.

According to her, Tinubu showed strong leadership and delivered key development projects during his time as governor, despite political disagreements with former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

She said, “I remember when Tinubu was Lagos State Governor, he did wit Lagos, what Oti is currently doing in Abia State. At that time OBJ was d President and was having some political Dissagrements wit Tinubu, yet Tinubu forged on, and carried Lagos state wit a lot of grace and panache, turning d city into an even better place than he met it, building MM2, dualizing Allen Avenue and many other roads inside Lagos, he cleared d streets of area boys and created LASTMA, among many other good works, without any much support from federal, it was a good time to live in Lagos then. Lagosians loved Tinubu.”

She added that Tinubu’s performance in Lagos formed part of the basis on which he was assessed for the presidency.

“And so, I believe that’s d yardstick he was measured wit, while weighing him for d kind of capacity needed for d role of a President,” she added.

However, the actress expressed concern over his current leadership, questioning the difference between his past and present style of governance.

“But d President we r seeing now, makes me wonder, where is d Tinubu we used to kno? D Tinubu who stood and protested and won against many past bad governance right from when I was still wearing diapers? D Tinubu who fought OBJ hands down and made Lagos a heaven? d real City Boy, What happened?” she wrote.

George attributed the change to age, noting that it may have affected his leadership capacity.

“In my opinion, AGE happened, which is a nature call and should not be faulted… But at this point, even him should on his own step down without being told, it’s honourable to leave d stage when there’s still some applaud, loud or not,” she said.

She also alleged that those around the president may not offer honest advice due to personal interests.

“But his cronies won’t tell him now, their gains in it won’t let them, until they push him to work himself to kpai… baba should Just resign now,” she added.

The actress, however, clarified that she is not affiliated with any political party and was only expressing her personal opinion.

“My name is Shan George, an International Award Winning African Film Maker. And I’m proudly Nigerian. I’m not a card carrier of Any Political Party, I don’t support Tinubu, neither am I currently supporting any presidential candidate, I’m Just a Good Citizen bearing her mind respectfully,” she wrote.
