First Lady Remi Remi Tinubu has donated ₦1 billion to victims of the recent attacks in parts of Plateau State.

The First Lady who announced the donation during her condolence visit to the state, on Thursday, said the money she donated is not government funds, but money she has personally raised to help others

“Today, I have come with a donation of ₦1 billion for the Renewed Hope Initiative. I do not have vast sums of money, but what I have is meant to bring life, not to pour money into a basket.

“If I kept money for personal gain, it would only serve to satisfy greed. But my goal is to use the resources I have for good, for the development of this country, not to waste it.

“Please understand that the money I have for this initiative is not government funds. It is money I have personally raised to help others. As I continue to travel and see the impact of our work, I ask for your prayers as we seek to make a lasting change.

“I have been praying, especially for those affected by the floods in other places too. I have been praying that the rains will nourish the land with food and not destroy it. God has already heard our prayers, and we will visit other places in need of support, like Benue and Niger.

“Lastly, I want to appeal to the traditional leaders here. You are the custodians of this land. We as office holders will come and go, but you will remain. Please, I urge you to bring peace to this land. God will help you to protect and preserve this land. I pray that Plateau State will flourish, and Nigeria will grow in peace and unity.”

According to her, the children should not be afraid to travel or explore Nigeria and must protect our future generations from living in fear, adding that she travelled far and wide, and even served in Kano State during her National Youth Service year.

She added that her love for the country is not political, but about how the country has blessed her.

In his remarks, Governor Caleb Mutfwang said he can confidently confirm that the First Lady had become a mother, and a woman who entered government with a clear focus.

He said while she has always been a politician in her own right, her current concern and burden are about uplifting humanity.

“On behalf of the good people of Plateau State, I want to assure you, Ma, that your visit means so much to us. The gestures you have extended to us will leave lasting memories in our hearts.

“One thing I would like to assure you is that, by the grace of God, we are coming together—leaders of faith, tradition, and various sectors of society—to bring an end to the three decades of crisis and violence in Plateau,” Mutfwang stated.

The jobless wife of the president can have 1bn to donate, but the hardworking citizens with PhDs and Bsc`s can't boast of 100k in their account. Yet the jobless wife of the president and her family is bent on milking the citizens off their last penny.

Jobless son of president with no trace of having any establishment known and beneficial to the country and it's citizens, can have and donate 500 million.

Jobless wife of the same president with no known establishment known and beneficial to the country and it's citizens, can have and donate 1bn

But the average citizen struggling to make ends meal, is outrageously taxed to his/her last penny, subjected to live in an poorly kept country, with no job, infact no access to simple basic rights and yet made to give account of that last 10k in their bank balance or they get thrown in jail. And yet my people keep ass licking their oppressors because of tribe.

What an interesting time to be alive.

Maydayy:
I do not know if the funds are truly government or personal funds. But, you should never underestimate the power of reputation, influence and goodwill. She could raise 10 billion if she wanted to. The only thing she'd do is to write to all these politicians looking for favours from the president and they'd run coming.
I am not a fan of this administration but I know raising 1billion would be child's play for the first lady.
