Anuku made the call during a recent interview on The Honest Bunch podcast, where he expressed support for Tinubu and said the president should be given time to address the problems he inherited.
“Nigeria has to be patient for the renewed hope of this man, and the country was not spoiled by him, you know. There were people there before him now. Why didn’t they go and attack those people? He has to fix it now,” he said.
Asked whether he believed Tinubu was doing enough to address the country’s challenges, the actor replied, “He’s doing great. Nigeria should be patient. We’re too much in a hurry.”
Anuku also said he would continue to support Tinubu and insisted that the president should be allowed to serve his tenure.
“I’m going to be hanging out with Mr President himself. There’s nothing you can do about that. He has to serve his term, his tenure, you know,” he said.
The actor also dismissed suggestions that he was being paid to speak favourably about Tinubu.
“No one pays me. How many people can be better than him because he’s this and that? Most people who are going to come, maybe after, maybe they’re even worse off. So the devil, you know, is better,” he said.
Beyond politics, Anuku opened up about the death of the mother of his children, describing the loss as deeply painful.
“When I lost my woman, you know, mother of my children, it’s deep, and it hurts. I was depressed a bit. Sometimes I miss her and I just wanted to get out,” he said.
The actor added that he had also experienced betrayal from some people he considered friends but said he had found strength through his faith.
“It’s all good. God loves me more. Some friends betrayed me as well. Some want you dead. Some even want you to go mad and all that,” he added.
