@Nayvadiius: The entire country has been on financial fire how much was donated? These clowns need to be out of office, and this should be the last time incompetent people rule Nigeria

@its_Miguel04: That a huge amount of money; you will now tell those people not to vote for Tinubu during elections 🤣

@Tonyratty1: Stop sharing our money and crate the system that works, the system that will protect the lives and property for Gods sake 🤦🏻‍♂️

@alexies_josh: That’s not a lot of votes though. 18 plus their families and staff and families, that’s something anyways..

@Manando217: Madam First lady, it is OUR money you’re giving to us ooo! You and BAT are not doing them a favor or handing out charities.

@Aizik45: Who did he direct and where is the money coming from? If the money is coming from the treasury then this is misappropriation.

@Newsyupdatesll: ₦25 million to each of the 18 affected business owners is a significant intervention that could help them rebuild and get back on their feet. 🙏🏾
