Nigeria’s politician Isaac Fayose reacts to a charity appeal attributed to First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, urging APC governors to take direct action to reduce poverty in their states. In posts shared online, Fayose criticises the idea of relying on entertainers and private individuals for relief efforts, saying governors have the authority and resources to provide sustained support. He calls for APC governors to donate N500 million every month to help poor Nigerians, framing the proposal as a practical way to alleviate hardship at the state level. Fayose’s comments follow the First Lady’s appeal to Afrobeats artists, including Davido, Burna Boy and Asake, to support charity initiatives. While Fayose does not deny the value of public goodwill from high-profile figures, he argues that poverty relief should be prioritised through government-led contributions. The outlets reporting the reactions describe Fayose’s stance as a push for more structured and recurring funding, rather than short-term charity appeals.
