“Enough is enough” – Actress Iyabo Ojo criticizes Tinubu for insecurity, calls for immediate action

• Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has criticized the Federal Government, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and the military for the growing insecurity in Nigeria.
• Her criticism was fueled by the recent attacks on schools and kidnappings in Oyo State.
• In an Instagram video posted on May 27, she highlighted the repeated abductions of school children and violent killings by armed groups.

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has openly criticized the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and the military for the growing insecurity in the country, especially after the recent school attacks and kidnappings in Oyo State.

In a lengthy Instagram video shared on May 27, the actress reacted to the recurring kidnappings of school children and violent killings by armed groups across Nigeria. She expressed deep concern over what she described as the deterioration of the national security situation.

Ojo questioned the capacity of the country’s security forces, asking why armed bandits appeared to be operating freely despite the presence of military personnel tasked with protecting citizens.

“How come these bandits will come and kill, steal, kidnap and take away our children? Are these people, more than you, military personnel who should be in charge of protecting the lives and property of your citizens?” she said.

She also suggested that if Nigeria’s security system is overwhelmed, the government should consider seeking external support from foreign intelligence or military partners to deal with the crisis.

The actress further expressed anger at reports that perpetrators of such attacks were bold enough to share graphic videos online, questioning why schools and places of worship were not closed in response to the growing threat.

Iyabo Ojo also criticized political leaders for focusing on campaigns and commissioning projects while insecurity continues to claim lives across the country. She warned that continued violence could render such developments meaningless if citizens are no longer alive to benefit from them.

“We don’t need you to open roads. We don’t need you to open schools for now. We don’t need you to distribute rice… if they don’t do something about it soon, there won’t be people walking on that road,” she said.

She further stated that she is no longer interested in political campaigns, adding that she has not seen enough commitment from leaders who promise change.

Addressing Nigerians, especially the youth, celebrities and the general public, the Return of Arinza director warned that insecurity is not limited to rural areas and could eventually engulf urban and gated communities if left unchecked.

She called on citizens to get beyond political divisions and arguments on social media and instead unite to demand accountability from government officials at all levels through peaceful protests.

“Social media, we get so carried away that we just talk, talk, talk, and nothing… we’re not angry enough,” she said, adding that collective action is necessary to drive real change.

Ojo concluded by encouraging Nigerians, even those with small online followings, to use their platforms to speak out consistently until meaningful action is taken.
