In an interview with fellow actor Kunle Afod, Alapini Osa encouraged Nigerians to exercise patience, noting that the work Tinubu intends to do cannot be accomplished within a short period.

“Leadership is not accidental,” he said, adding that Tinubu’s emergence as President may serve a larger purpose.

“If God did not have a purpose for Nigeria through him, He would not have made him president. I believe he was sent to accomplish something, and he is already working towards it.”

Alapini Osa went further, suggesting that fully addressing the country’s challenges could require extending the President’s time in office.

“If all the country’s problems were to be resolved, Tinubu should be allowed to serve a third term,” he said in Yoruba, underscoring his belief in the President’s mission.
