“Nigeria Is hurting” — BBNaija’s Pere Egbi writes open letter to Tinubu, rebukes Nigerians celebrating Buhari’s Death

Reality star and actor Pere Egbi has penned an open letter to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu following the death of former president Muhammadu Buhari.

In the emotional address shared via social media, Pere urged Tinubu to reflect on the pain many Nigerians still carry due to years of hardship and loss, while appealing to his conscience and leadership to help the country heal.

“Nigeria is hurting. Millions are broken. Many have lost faith in our political leaders, not because they want to, but because the pain left behind has fermented into bitterness and hate,” he wrote.

Pere, who admitted he doesn’t agree with all of Tinubu’s policies, said he still believes the president has the power to change the country’s story for good.

Beyond his message to Tinubu, Pere also rebuked Nigerians who are publicly celebrating the death of the late former president.

“Blast him while he’s alive. Express your displeasure while he’s breathing… But once he’s gone, for the sake of those he left behind… show some restraint,” he said in another post.

He emphasized that not insulting the dead doesn’t mean endorsing their actions.

“Blaming him for hardship and loss is valid. What’s not valid is assuming that not cursing a dead man equals endorsing his actions.”

Pere concluded by stressing that true healing won’t come from mirroring the cruelty that once caused pain.

“You don’t correct injustice by becoming just as cold and heartless… Celebrating death doesn’t heal, it simply mimics the cruelty we claim to oppose.”
