Bolanle Ninalowo announced that he had been appointed as the Coordinator of the Relax Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria (RTIFN) association in Atlanta, United States.

The role positions him to mobilize Nigerians abroad in support of Tinubu’s political initiatives.

Reacting to the announcement on social media, Yul Edochie kept his message brief and warm, writing in Ninalowo’s comment section:

“Welcome on board, brother.”

The congratulatory post sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans criticizing Yul for publicly supporting a political initiative, while others welcomed the gesture.

Reactions ranged from playful banter to serious critique of celebrities’ involvement in politics.

In a related report, Nigerian businessman Obi Cubana was named South-East Zonal Coordinator of the City Boy Movement, another youth-focused political mobilization reportedly linked to Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu.

The group engages in voter registration drives, community outreach, and publicity campaigns, often aligning with the APC, though it is not officially part of the party.

Yul Edochie has previously faced backlash on social media for personal matters, including publicly praising his second wife, Judy Austin, during his ongoing divorce proceedings.

Fans argued that flaunting his relationship with Judy while still legally married to his first wife, May, negatively impacted his public image.
