Bello Galadanchi, widely known as Dan Bello, has strongly criticized President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies, claiming they are causing widespread hunger and suffering in Nigeria.
Speaking during an interview on Trust TV’s Daily Politics on Tuesday, the skitmaker expressed his concerns over the government’s actions, challenging them to sue him if they are unhappy with his statements.
Dan Bello emphasized that he is not affiliated with any political party and is not working for any individual or group. “If what I’m doing is not good for them, then it’s clearly good for the people,” he said. “If their policies were effective, no one would be concerned about the content I create. The fact that people resonate with my work shows that the government’s actions are insufficient and harmful.”
He went on to describe the dire situation in the country, stating, “People are starving. Some are even eating grass and drinking contaminated water. It’s heartbreaking to see people knocking on doors, saying they haven’t eaten in days. This isn’t due to a natural disaster—it’s a result of poor policies that could have been avoided. These leaders just impose these policies and turn a deaf ear to the suffering.”
Dan Bello further criticized the government for allegedly enriching themselves while neglecting the citizens’ welfare. “They’re upset because we’re holding them accountable for their actions. They want us to stay silent while people die. But where is our humanity? We’ve seen how other countries manage to keep their citizens from going hungry—why should we remain quiet?”
In a defiant tone, he added, “If they’re unhappy, if they want to sue me or take me to court, I welcome it. It means our work is making an impact and growing stronger.”
