Antar Laniyan Says He Will Walk Away From Anyone Criticising Tinubu in His Presence

Veteran actor Antar Laniyan has declared that he will not entertain any form of criticism against President Bola Tinubu in his presence, even if it comes from a close friend.

Speaking during an appearance on the African A-List podcast, Laniyan said he would rather leave a gathering than listen to or engage in conversations that condemn the President.

The respected thespian explained that he does not consider discussions about Tinubu’s performance necessary when he is spending time with friends, adding that he would not want political disagreements to strain his relationships.

Laniyan further stressed that his position would not change even if he personally had issues with the President.
“If you are my friend and while we are together, you talk against President Bola Tinubu, I will walk away because he has not been what you’re saying to me. I don’t have to support you.
Even if he does it to me, I will not engage in the conversation; I will still walk away,” he stated.

His remarks come shortly after fellow veteran actor Jide Kosoko defended President Tinubu’s administration.

Kosoko, while reacting to the country’s economic situation, had maintained that the present hardship should not be blamed entirely on the current government, arguing that past administrations failed to plan adequately for Nigeria’s rising population.
