Sule Lamido Slams Seyi Tinubu’s Ramadan Food Distribution, Calls It ‘Humiliation’

Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has strongly condemned Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, for distributing food during Ramadan in northern Nigeria.

In a viral video, Lamido described the initiative as a "humiliation" to the region, arguing that it degrades the dignity of the people. He questioned how a region known for producing revered leaders like Aminu Kano, Sir Ahmadu Bello, and Tafawa Balewa has now been reduced to receiving handouts of cooked rice.

"You say Arewa is known for bravery and integrity, yet Seyi Tinubu is in Sokoto and Kano, sharing cooked rice. Is this governance? This is total humiliation," Lamido said.

He urged the northern people to reject what he perceives as a political strategy disguised as charity, emphasizing that self-reliance and dignity should take precedence over tokenistic gestures.
