BREAKING NEWS: Primate Ayodele Blasts First Lady Remi Tinubu Over Silence on Abducted Oyo Schoolchildren.
Popular cleric, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has publicly criticized Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, accusing her of failing to show motherly concern over the abduction of schoolchildren, teachers, and a principal in Oyo State.
Speaking passionately, Ayodele said the First Lady should have followed the example of former First Lady Patience Jonathan by publicly demanding the safe return of the victims. He expressed disappointment that while families remain in anguish, attention appeared to be focused on political activities, including the distribution of vehicles to APC women leaders.
"You did not behave like a mother at all. You never protested or demanded that these children be brought back. Instead, you were busy distributing cars for political campaigns," Ayodele stated.
The outspoken cleric further warned that public perception of such actions could have political consequences, suggesting that the administration risks losing public support if urgent attention is not given to the plight of the kidnapped victims.
His comments have sparked fresh debate across social media, with many Nigerians renewing calls for intensified efforts to secure the release of the abducted schoolchildren and teachers.
