Nigerians are fuming over the Ooni of Ife’s surprising decision to unveil a golden statue of Remi Tinubu at Obafemi Awolowo University. The ceremony, which was part of the Ooni’s 50th birthday bash, also included a 2.7km road and pavilion named after Mrs. Tinubu – a move that has left many scratching their heads.
Critics are slamming the Ooni’s priorities, arguing that the resources could have been better spent tackling Nigeria’s pressing issues. Meanwhile, the Ooni praised Mrs. Tinubu’s remarkable leadership, tireless education advocacy, and unwavering commitment to women’s empowerment.
The gesture has sparked heated debates about leadership, accountability, and the role of public figures in driving meaningful change. Many are questioning the timing and relevance of such projects amidst the country’s challenges.
