Nollywood actress who lost election to APC calls Buhari a tyrant

Yoruba actress, Funke Adesiyan, went on a rant on Monday, calling President Muhammadu Buhari “egoistic, deceitful and a “two-faced tyrant”.

She also expressed her anger at Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka; All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Bola Tinubu, and former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, who she claims are not loyal to Nigerians.

In 2015, Funke contested for a seat in the Oyo State House of Assembly under the umbrella of the People Democratic Party (PDP) to represent Ibadan South East State Constituency but lost to the APC candidate.

Last week, she campaigned against the One Voice Nigeria protest, imploring youths to get involved in governance like she did instead of protesting.

Her post on Monday was used to buttress the point she made a week ago about the protest being inadequate to solve Nigeria’s problem.

“I said it last week that it is useless protesting to a deaf horse and protest is not enough. You now see what I mean? How dare you try to shut people up? You elderly ones who sold us this bad market and yet keep mute in the face of impunity have failed your country,” she ranted.

…There was a Country! I am not disappointed in this egoistic, deceitful, two faced tyrant of a president as I did not vote for him, I am more disappointed in men of supposed honor who sold this bad product to gullible Nigerians and yet keep mute as the democracy they alongside many others fought for is being destroyed by this tyrant of a General. I am disappointed in Asiwaju Tinubu, Prof Wole Soyinka, Adams Oshiomole and many more men and women who had led us to believe they are on the side of Nigeria and the oppressed. We are in a democratic era yet our freedom of speech, expression and association is being threatened and you all are quiet for the fear of what? Arrest? What is life without a purpose? I said it last week that it is useless protesting to a deaf horse and protest is not enough. You now see what I mean? How dare you try to shut people up? You elderly ones who sold us this bad market and yet keep mute in the face of impunity have failed your country. Your loyalty to your country is tainted and untrue. On this day, I wish Gani Fawehinmi and Abami Eda were alive. These were true great men whose loyalty to Nigeria will forever be unquestionable. #angry #iweepfornigeria #voteouttyranny2019 #tellushisstateofhealth #fixourcountry
