Human rights activist, Mahdi Shehu has accused Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, of showing open bias in her charity interventions under the Renewed Hope project, saying her actions appear to favor Christian communities over Muslims.

In a post shared on X on Sunday, Shehu described Mrs. Tinubu as a seemingly biased mother whose approach to relief distribution risks deepening divisions rather than uniting Nigerians.

[b]“Her body language, her numerous charitable spendings, and her visits to disaster locations all show that the Renewed Hope project is tilted too heavily towards her Christian community,” he wrote.

“These open biases do not raise hopes but rather dash hopes, create more divisions and hate which ultimately destroys unity, harmony and cohesion.”

Shehu claimed that disaster victims in states like Benue, Plateau, Bauchi, and Kogi, where Christians form a majority, have received swift visits and generous donations running into billions of naira from the First Lady.

By contrast, he argued, Muslim-majority states such as Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, and Niger have either been overlooked or given what he called peanuts in cash and drops of reliefs.

According to him, “Disaster victims, mostly Muslims, are watching a mother visibly tilted towards her chosen and preferred children.”

“These open biases do not raise hopes but rather dash them, creating more divisions, hatred, and ultimately destroying unity and harmony.”

Backing his criticism with biblical references, Shehu cited Psalms 25:8 and Isaiah 32:1-5 to call for fairness and justice in leadership.
Shehu concluded by urging the First Lady to reflect deeply on her role.

Putindbutt:
These people will not mind criticizing the colour of your poo. They lack the wisdom to criticize wisely. So the Muslim Muslim ticket is now favouring Christians more. Hate definitely makes one sound stupid.

agulion:
Can you imagine that, even when the Christians are enduring the local Muslim Muslim ticket, anyway yoruba Muslims are also complaining, the other day Yoruba Muslims leaders meet Tinubu in Lagos to complain about Tinubu favouring yoruba Christians over yoruba Muslims, so the two types of yorubas are not happy about each other

In 2027 I will support Tinubu against those gang up. People of little value. The president is creating value across the North. They want to be in charge olodo them..

newoffer:
He is strategically uplifting regions that have been neglected over time. The word Northern is just in the lips of the confused politicians. As it is everybody don know their base and clout chasing politicians should keep quiet. North my foot. You don't empower your people when you are in power . People squander what is ought to go to the people. Tinubu will be building lasting legacies to help promote economic and social inclusions. quote author=Gotocourt post=136705463]North Central States is the new battle ground for 2027 elections. Tinubu is consolidating and establishing new fronts here🤷🏿
