Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose, says he disagrees with comments made by Nigeria’s First Lady, Remi Tinubu. In a video posted on X, Fayose reacts to Mrs Tinubu’s message to Afrobeat musicians—including Davido, Asake and Burna Boy—to use their influence and “music money” for charitable support aimed at helping poor citizens.
Fayose’s criticism focuses on a separate public position attributed to Remi Tinubu, in which he says she urged state governors to purchase brand-new cars for APC women leaders in their states. He argues that funds used for such purchases could instead have been directed toward assisting poor Nigerians.
The outlets report that Fayose directly contrasts the First Lady’s call for artists to give back with her alleged preference for government-linked spending on vehicles, presenting his dispute as a question of priorities for resources. The discussion is framed as a response to the First Lady’s guidance on charitable involvement and how public spending decisions are made.
