The donation of N50m to victims of Katsina Central Market fire by All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu, has been raising dust on social media with many Nigerians criticising the former Lagos State governor while his supporters have also taken to his defence.

Reno Omokri, a former social media aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, had censured Tinubu for donating the huge amount to victims of the Katsina market fire while allegedly ignoring affected traders at Shasha market in Ibadan, Oyo State; and other markets razed recently in Lagos and the South-West.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that no fewer than 700 shops and stalls were razed in a Monday morning fire incident that ravaged the Katsina Central Market.

Goods worth billions of naira worth were also burnt and stolen in the looting that followed the unfortunate incident.

Tinubu was in Katsina on Wednesday where he was received by the state governor, Aminu Masari. The APC stalwart was taken round the razed market by the governor and he pledged to assist the traders with N50m.

However, the APC chieftain has since come under fire on social media. Katsina is the home state of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and many have linked Tinubu’s donation to his rumoured presidential ambition in 2023.

A tweep, @i_racle wrote, “When market places were burning back to back in Lagos, there was no federal delegation and Tinubu’s donation.”

“Interesting! I thought they say charity begins at home!” said @Samuelohalete1.

@EAshayi stated, “Good move. However, it is said that charity begins at home. One tends to think that he is seeking approval of the North in view of his political ambition.”

But some supporters of the APC chieftain have since defended his generous action, saying he was promoting unity.

@officeroflagos said, “Away goal is important in UEFA champion league, so away spending is important in politics in Nigeria!”

On Facebook, Oloyede Ismaila, wrote, “The time (Nyesom) Wike donated N500m Rivers State funds to Sokoto fire victims, you hypocrites didn’t say anything but now that Tinubu donated to Katsina fire victims, you started making a noise.”

“Anybody can spend his or her money as he likes,” Adeyeye Abiodun tendered.

Another user, Omoge Sunday, opined that Tinubu should strike a balance in his generous gestures.

“He knows how he made his money and he has absolute right on how the money should be spent. However, he should learn to please God rather than pleasing men,” Sunday wrote.

Tinubu is a cheerful giver may God bless him for helping the victims of the fire, nothing is worse than losing ones livelihood to an inferno.

But meanwhile, he should also donate something to the boli and Pomo squad aka TMC. They need an upgrade so they won’t choke of hatred.

Most politicians don't give out of generosity. They give to court public favour.

These market fires are becoming very suspicious. How can there be market fires in 9 states in just one year. And all of them are in strategically located state in the state capitals?
And what is 50 million Naira to the jagaban? It is his money and his decision.. The Patek Philippe Grand Complications Perpetual Calendar Dino Melaye wears is worth 3 times as much. It’s $300k the last time I checked

He doesn't need approval on how to spend his money, even if he gives all he has to Lagos and Osun people will still find something to say.

what i have learnt to do in this world is to satisfy my conscience, do my thing the way it will give me joy, i don't care what others will say.

What did Reno say about Doyin outburst on Igbo's and Sarduanna, where him suppose talk he will sneak like rat wey first see cat.

All those condemning Jagaban doesn't know the value of Northerners in the context of Nigerian politics. They decide who gets what, when and how. That is the bitter truth

shocked

Upon all the nepotistic and tribal antics buhari has been displaying against the south, Tinubu has never deemed it fit to condemn any of them all because of his elusive presidential ambition.

As a condemned slave he has always been, he crowned buhari bigotry with giving out stolen #50M to the North leaving behind his people in Benin Republic to suffer.

Nigeria is finished.
