She noted that it was saddening for the citizens to work and still not have enough to take care of their bills due to the high cost of goods and services.
The movie star stated that she wasn't discouraging anyone from protesting, but this was not the best solution.
She recalled how the #EndSARS protest against police brutality ended on October 20, 2020. It was hijacked by some people who caused damage to government properties. Hence, she suggested that representative groups should be formed to communicate with President Bola Tinubu.
The role interpreter added that the economic situation in the country was affecting everyone and issues should addressed diplomatically.
