“I refuse to stay silent” – Bolanle Ninalowo reacts to Jos massacre amid appointment with Tinubu

Nollywood actor Bolanle Ninalowo has spoken out over the recent killings in Jos, expressing deep heartbreak over the tragic incident amid “Relax Tinubu is fixing Nigeria” recent appointment.

On Palm Sunday, suspected gunmen reportedly attacked a community in Angwa Rukuba, leaving several people dead.

Taking to his Instagram page, the actor stated that he chooses to be a voice for the people rather than the government, noting that he could not remain silent.

“I choose to be a voice for the people, not for any government. The tragic events in Jos, Nigeria, broke my heart. I may have made a misaligned call in the past, thoughts made in a moment with good intentions, but I cannot stay silent when I realise I may have overlooked my core values,” he wrote.

Bolanle added that his stance is not about politics but about humanity, stressing that he cannot watch Nigerians suffer without speaking up.

“My hope is for change, not for political support. I cannot stand by and watch people suffer for any reason. Nigerians bleed, and I will not be ignorant of that reality. May God bring the change we all desire to make Nigeria a better place,” he added.

In a follow-up reaction, it was reported that actor Kunle Remi also expressed anger and heartbreak, describing the viral video as his real birthday message to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while hoping it reaches him.
