'Devil You Know Is Better' – Hanks Anuku Backs Tinubu, Urges Patience
Veteran Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has thrown his weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging Nigerians to exercise patience with his administration.
In a recent interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast, he argued that the country's challenges did not start with the current president and that blaming him alone is unfair.
Anuku noted that there were leaders before Tinubu, questioning why Nigerians did not direct their anger at them instead. He insisted that Tinubu has to fix the country now and described his administration as doing great, adding that Nigerians are too much in a hurry.
When asked if he was being paid to support the government, he dismissed the suggestion, asking how many people could be better than the president. He added that most of those who might come after could be worse.
"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."
"He is doing great. Nigeria should be patient. We are too much in a hurry."
"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."
