Jide Kosoko, a veteran Nollywood actor, says he has no regrets about advocating for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
During an interview, Kosoko revealed this. He stated that while he is dissatisfied with some of the president’s activities, he cannot blame him for all that is wrong in Nigeria.
Nigerians, he claims, are choosing their president through a trial-and-error procedure.
Responding to the question that if he regrets campaigning for the President, Kosoko said: “No, I can never regret it. All Nigerian youths saying different things, let them show us who to follow, do you know who will do well, do you know?
“Professor Wole Soyinka was appointed the founding Corps Marshall of the FRSC, he ran away, he could not stand it. So, tell me if you are able to confirm to me that Jide Kosoko is the best to govern us, then I will follow you. But nobody knows, we are all making trial and error.”
The actor also stated that a variety of factors are to blame for Nigeria’s current state.
He said: “I cannot speak for the government but I can’t say Buhari’s government is totally bad but I’m disappointed in some of his actions.
“Buhari knows that discipline is his watchword, I wanted to believe him then, but he should know that in getting a corrupt-free society you would face quite a lot of antagonism.
“I believe Buhari and personally, he is not corrupt, but so many things are still going on. This means that prompt action must be taken to ensure that those things stop in the country.”
