“Look at the Ramadan package I received from President Tinubu!” — Lady shows off Ramadan package
A woman has stirred widespread debate on social media after sharing a video of a Ramadan food package she said was received from President Bola Tinubu.
The package, presented in a box branded with the president’s image, contained assorted food items meant to support fasting during the holy month of Ramadan.
Video sparks mixed reactions online
In the viral clip, the woman excitedly displayed the contents of the package, which included rice, spaghetti, macaroni, cooking oil, seasoning cubes, sugar, salt, tea and milk.
She praised the gesture, describing it as timely support ahead of the fasting period. Her excitement, however, quickly divided opinion among viewers across social media platforms.
Criticism over politics and poverty
While some commenters described the package as a welcome form of relief amid rising food prices, others criticised it as political tokenism.
Several users argued that such distributions reflected deeper economic challenges, accusing politicians of offering short-term incentives rather than sustainable solutions.
Others warned against equating food support with political loyalty, stressing that welfare packages should not influence civic choices.
Supporters defend welfare gestures
On the other side, supporters defended the initiative, insisting that charity during religious periods should not be politicised.
They maintained that accepting food items does not automatically translate to political endorsement and noted that similar gestures have occurred under past administrations.
As reactions continue to pour in, the video has reignited broader conversations about poverty, governance, and the role of welfare initiatives during religious observances in Nigeria.
