Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has come under scrutiny after unveiling the Tinubu Torchbearers, an APC mobilisation initiative, and donating vehicles to women leaders of the ruling party across five opposition-controlled states, including Oyo.
The move has triggered debate on social media, with critics questioning the timing of the political outreach as Oyo State continues to confront a worsening security challenge, including the unresolved abduction of dozens of students and teachers.
While supporters describe the initiative as part of efforts to strengthen grassroots political engagement, opponents argue that public attention should remain focused on addressing insecurity and securing the safe return of those still held captive.
The development has reignited discussions over governance priorities, security, and political mobilisation amid growing concerns about kidnappings and violent crime in parts of the country.
