A truck containing Ramadan palliatives reportedly donated by Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was looted by youths in Gombe State. The items were intended for distribution to the less privileged during the holy month.
Seyi Tinubu has been touring northern states in recent weeks, joining Muslim faithful for Iftar (breaking of fast) and launching feeding programs as part of his Ramadan outreach. However, the initiative has sparked mixed reactions, with some praising the gesture while others criticize it as insufficient.
The controversy deepened when Shamsuddeen Bala Mohammed, son of Bauchi State Governor, took to Facebook to condemn the palliative approach. He urged Seyi to focus on sustainable empowerment programs rather than temporary relief measures.
The looting incident has further fueled public debate, with many questioning the effectiveness of such interventions.
