Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has engaged in a debate with the personal assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on new media, Bashir Ahmad.
Mr Ahmad responding to a comment made by the screen goddess where she said that the country was hellish under the current administration wrote: “Madam Omotola those who are working for CLEAN money are not complaining and will never refer our dear country as ‘hellish’.
“In Kano State alone, from 2015 to 2018, no fewer than 200 medium and small scale rice milling centres emerged. For that, billions circulated among millions.”
Responding to his tweet, Omotola wrote: “As long as you’re not insinuating that I am not working CLEAN for my money… I hear you. Its good that there are some progress.
“Do you truly want to say you dont see all that’s really wrong? Can we fight for our future in truth for once? Without being partisan?”
Ahmad responded once more, saying: “There are problems, and some have been with us since 1950s. Yes, I am partisan and I replied you because you mentioned @MBuhari and @ProfOsinbajo’s govt which I am working in.
“We as Nigerians, can you honestly say we are all acting like we have problems? Do we really pay taxes?”
Responding to a fan who worried that Omotola would be victimised because of her stance, the ‘Ije’ actress said: “Lol, I know the terrain . I’ve been doing this for many years. I know the drill… usually , they’ll come after me with Taxes. Lol… i suffer that every time I speak up… lol.”
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde had described living in Nigeria as ‘hellish’ under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, in a series of tweets on Sunday.
