Shan George: Tinubu’s more like a dead wood…he needs to go home and rest

By our reporter 7.4.2026
Nollywood actress Shan George said President Bola Tinubu needs to resign from pursuing a second term in office, because he has nothing more to offer Nigerians.
The 55-years-old actress who was writing on her Facebook social media platform argued that Tinubu has passed his prime in public service and he wasn’t the man he used to be back in 1999 when was governor of Lagos State.
“I remember when Tinubu was Lagos state governor, he did with Lagos what Alex Otti is currently doing in Abia state.
“At that time, OBJ was the president and was having some political disagreements with Tinubu, yet Tinubu forged on and carried Lagos state with a lot of grace and panache, turning the city into an even better place than he met it, building MM2, dualising Allen Avenue and many other roads inside Lagos.
“He cleared the streets of area boys and created LASTMA, among many other good works, without much support from the federal government. It was a good time to live in Lagos then. Lagosians loved Tinubu. And so, I believe that’s d yardstick he was measured with, while weighing him for d kind of capacity needed for d role of a president.
“But the President we are seeing now makes me wonder, where is the Tinubu we used to know? The Tinubu who stood and protested and won against many past bad governances right from when I was still wearing diapers? The Tinubu, who fought OBJ hands down and made Lagos a heaven? The real City Boy, what happened?
“In my opinion, AGE happened, which is a natural call and should not be faulted. His lifelong desire and goal have always been to become the President of Nigeria. Hence, the EMILOKAN surge, quite understandable. He got it, and that’s great. But at this point, even he should on his own step down without being told. It’s honourable to leave the stage when there’s still some applause, loud or not.
“But his cronies won’t tell him now. Their gains in it won’t let them until they push him to work himself to kpai (death), because being the President of Nigeria, the GIANT of AFRICA, is not moimoi (child’s play), baba should just resign now.”
The 55-year-old actress claimed that she was not a member of any political party and was not supporting any presidential candidate, insisting she was only speaking as “a good citizen bearing her mind respectfully”.
