Pere Egbi urges President Tinubu to address Nigeria’s pain and help restore public trust in leadership.
He also condemned celebrating Buhari’s death, stressing that healing won’t come through hate or vengeance.
Reality TV star and actor Pere Egbi in an open letter to President Bola Tinubu, called on him to reflect on the suffering many Nigerians continue to endure.
In his message, Pere urged the president to recognize the lasting pain caused by years of hardship, and to take steps that would help the nation heal.
“Nigeria is hurting. Millions are broken. Many have lost faith in our political leaders, not because they want to, but because the pain left behind has fermented into bitterness and hate,” he wrote.
Although he noted that he does not agree with all of Tinubu’s policies, Pere expressed hope that the president still has the power to lead the country in a better direction.
Alongside his message to Tinubu, Pere also addressed those celebrating the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari. He criticized such behavior and called for restraint and humanity.
“Blast him while he’s alive. Express your displeasure while he’s breathing… But once he’s gone, for the sake of those he left behind… show some restraint,” he said in another post.
He made it clear that showing respect in death doesn’t mean approval of past actions.
“Blaming him for hardship and loss is valid. What’s not valid is assuming that not cursing a dead man equals endorsing his actions.”
Pere wrapped up by stating that healing cannot come through vengeance or bitterness.
“You don’t correct injustice by becoming just as cold and heartless… Celebrating death doesn’t heal, it simply mimics the cruelty we claim to oppose.”
