Actor Prince Eke Delivers Fiery Rebuke Against APC Supporters and Government
Nollywood actor Prince Eke has unleashed a blistering condemnation of supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), labeling them as "stupid" and a "shame to the nation." In a strongly worded social media post shared on his Instagram page on the afternoon of March 5, Eke expressed his frustration with individuals who have been sending him abusive messages in response to his criticisms of the APC and the current administration.
Eke's Explosive Accusations Against APC Supporters
Prince Eke did not mince words in his assessment of those who back the ruling party. He asserted that APC supporters are "smart by half" and fundamentally foolish, arguing that their allegiance to a government he views as destructive is both illogical and detrimental to Nigeria. The actor emphasized that anyone who supports what he describes as a "bad government" inevitably appears foolish, particularly in a political environment where, according to him, misconduct such as the open sexual harassment of women by politicians goes unpunished.
"Shame!" Eke declared in a video accompanying his post, highlighting his disdain for the perceived inaction and corruption within the government.The Broader Critique of Nigeria's Leadership and Migration Crisis
Beyond his direct attack on APC supporters, Prince Eke expanded his commentary to address the wider socio-political landscape in Nigeria. He lamented that many Nigerians have been forced to scatter across the globe due to a lack of honest and visionary governance. Eke painted a grim picture of citizens migrating in droves, abandoning their homes and families in search of basic dignity, security, and opportunities that are scarce in their homeland.
He criticized what he sees as a small, elite circle that rules over millions as if the nation were their personal property, while ordinary people suffer the consequences. Eke also took aim at "charlatans" who, in his view, accept meager rewards to defend a system that oppresses the majority, keeping them "in chains."
A Call for National Reclamation and Real Change
In his concluding remarks, Prince Eke issued a passionate plea for transformation. He acknowledged that the privilege of leaving Nigeria to build a life elsewhere is not available to all, leaving many to endure decades of failed leadership. Eke argued that Nigeria cannot survive indefinitely on silence, excuses, and recycled promises, urging the people to reclaim their country.
"It is time for the people to reclaim their country. Not for revenge, but for responsibility. Not for noise, but for real change,"he wrote, emphasizing that this effort is crucial for the sake of future generations. Eke's message underscores a deep-seated desire for Nigeria to once again belong to its citizens, free from the grip of what he perceives as a corrupt and ineffective ruling class.
