Nigerian singer Cynthia Morgan, popularly known as Madrina, has sparked a wave of reactions after sharing her perspective on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
In a series of Instagram posts, Morgan joined the ongoing debate surrounding the economic policies of the current government, particularly the removal of fuel subsidies.
Her comments were triggered by a viral video of a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who had publicly criticized Tinubu’s government, describing it as “terrible” due to the rising cost of living.
The corps member expressed her frustration over the steep price hikes of goods and claimed that she faced threats from NYSC officials after voicing her opinions.
While acknowledging the economic hardships faced by Nigerians, Cynthia Morgan disagreed with the NYSC member’s strong condemnation of Tinubu’s leadership.
The singer argued that despite the challenges Nigerians are facing, Tinubu is not the “most terrible” president in the country’s history.
To back up her point, Morgan referred to Soldiers of Fortune, a book by Max Siollun, suggesting that, when viewed through a historical lens, Nigeria has had more difficult administrations in the past.
She wrote;
“When you read The Soldiers of Fortune, you will realize Tinubu is not the most terrible president Nigeria has ever had, but nevertheless, removing 100 per cent of the subsidy was a terrible move.
It’s not too late to do something, though. At least if fuel is 500, the cost of living will reduce. It’s only right that we ease into total subsidy removal with the right development and infrastructure to sustain such decisions. A baby can’t go from breast milk to yam in just a day. Abeg consider us”.
