Shan George, a veteran actress in Nollywood and long-time resident of Lagos State, has expressed concerns over President Bola Tinubu's current governance, comparing it unfavourably to his time as governor of Lagos. She stated that Tinubu was more effective and visible in his leadership role during his tenure in Lagos than he has been since assuming the presidency. George, who rose to prominence in the early years of Nigerian cinema, made the remarks in a recent interview, citing a perceived decline in administrative efficiency. She did not provide specific policy critiques but emphasized a sense of disappointment among Lagos residents who supported his political rise. Her comments add to ongoing public discourse on the performance of the federal government under Tinubu's leadership.
Shan George's observation that Tinubu's leadership was more impactful in Lagos than at the national level points to a growing sentiment among some of his former constituents. The comparison rests on perception rather than policy outcomes, but it carries weight given her visibility and roots in Lagos. For Nigerians, especially voters who backed Tinubu based on his Lagos record, this kind of public reflection may influence trust in his federal stewardship. It underscores how past performance is being used to measure current political credibility.
