Nigerian actor Hanks Anuku has publicly urged citizens to exercise patience with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, arguing that the current economic and social challenges faced by the nation are not solely the fault of the new leader. In a recent statement, Anuku suggested that while the country is grappling with significant difficulties, it is essential to recognize that change takes time and that Tinubu did not create the existing problems.

"So the devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know," Anuku remarked, alluding to the idea that familiarity with the current administration may be preferable to uncertainty about what might come next. His comments come at a time when many Nigerians are expressing dissatisfaction over rising inflation, unemployment, and other pressing issues that have plagued the nation for years.

Anuku's perspective resonates with a segment of the population that believes in giving the new administration a chance to implement its policies before passing judgment. The actor's sentiment reflects a broader conversation about governance and accountability in Nigeria, where transitions of power often come with high expectations and scrutiny.

As the country navigates these turbulent waters, Anuku's appeal for patience serves as a reminder of the complexities of leadership and the need for collective resilience. The road ahead may be fraught with challenges, but the hope for positive change remains a vital part of the national discourse.
