₦airaland Forum

On-air personality Reuben Abati has questioned the source of the cash donations made by First Lady Remi Tinubu to disaster victims.

While giving his commentary on the What's Trending segment of Arise TV's Morning Show on Thursday, February 6, Abati, while applauding her generosity, also sought clarity on the source of her funds.

He also highlighted the geographical bias concerns raised over her recent ₦100 million donation to victims of a tanker explosion in Niger State, noting that victims of a similar disaster in Enugu remain stranded.

He said in an excerpt of the video; "“Mrs Tinubu, yes, we applaud her generosity. But the question to ask is ‘Where is the money coming from’?

"Three incidents in one month. What is the guarantee that when the next tanker collapses on that bridge, people will not go and scoop fuel? That is what Nigeria needs to worry about. Transportation. How many people will Mrs. Tinubu give ₦100 million? After their people have died in foreign tanker collapses? Again, there is also a geographical matter to it."

"The people of Enugu state have also complained that another tanker had an issue at, is it Mile 12 they call it, or last mile, whatever, in Enugu state. They too, they are asking for their own money. But the question is, where is Mrs. Tinubu getting this money from? Yeah, the renewed hope initiative. Who is funding it?"

"Where is this money that keeps coming out? In a remarkable style. Everywhere there is a problem. Mrs. Tinubu comes to the rescue. The people of Enugu are asking for their own."

Recall Remi Tinubu accompanied by the Wife of the Vice President, Hajiya Nana Kashim Shetima made the donation at the Government House Minna during a private visit to commiserate with the State over the recent tanker explosion in Diko and other disasters that occurred in the State.

She said the donation is to complement what the State government is doing to bring succor to the victims of the disaster.

How is it foolish

Someone that said she had to borrow 2 million naira during election

Abati, You can't be supporting her husband and be attacking her na.
Don't be a confused person

I think you are the foolish person here
Is the money in the budget? Is it her personal money? Nigerians don't like asking intelligent questions

You are foolish too💯 how do you know that it is not her money🧐

They are raping our dear country, and being cheered by their tribes people

Any intelligent question becomes a threat..


When this Yoruba tribalism back fires… They will raise sentiments…however Nigerians must remember there’s no sentiment in progressing our country


Yoruba has officially introduced tribalism to governance in Nigeria

The other type of Yoruba people ( the sharia Yorubas) will soon come and insult the writer without answering the question

That's what he is asking to find out. Care to reply and enlighten him?

Reuben, if u ask me, na who I go ask?
The matter wey u see so, e heavy for mouth and no be me go talk am.

From the concerned Nigerians or are you envying that

That's so generous of her tho.

Nigeria is the most useless country in the world. Nobody actually cares about transparency and accountability. How much is budgeted for an unconditional First Lady office?

Well, everyone is working hard to get to the top so they can loot public funds with reckless abandon. Looting na turn by turn.

You're wrong. You're a typical Nigerian with a coward mindset. She was a legislator for years and all her salaries and allowances couldn't make up for all donations.

Nigerians and the need to control and dictate for others about what to do, think, say. Na her money and her decision.

You responded to a zombie. You should know by now that they are wired to always follow without asking pertinent questions. You shouldn't have bothered.

I admit that Public Officials should be accountable at all times, but where was Reuben Abati when Patience Jonathan, his former Principal’s wife, used N10billion to build 200- rooms Aridolf hotel in Bayelsa, which she donated as Covid-19 isolation centre?
Why did he not question the source of her money? This is selective criticism.
