Shehu Sani Slams Tinubu Over Unfulfilled $100,000 Promise to Super Falcons

• Shehu Sani, has criticised President Bola Tinubu for failing to fulfil his $100,000 pledge to the Super Falcons.

• Recall that Tinubu had pledged $100,000 to each of the 24 players and $50,000 to each member of the technical crew for winning the 2024 Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.

Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has criticised President Bola Tinubu for failing to fulfil his $100,000 pledge to the Super Falcons.

Sani’s reaction came after Super Falcons forward, Rasheedat Ajibade, revealed that the players were yet to receive the promised funds.

Tinubu had pledged $100,000 to each of the 24 players and $50,000 to each member of the technical crew for winning the 2024 Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco. The president had also promised each player and crew member a three-bedroom flat.

Ajibade, however, disclosed that none of the monetary promises had been fulfilled.

Posting on X, Sani wrote: “Reading that The Falcons are yet to receive the $100k is shocking. I urge the FG to fast track and redeem the pledge made to The Falcons and D’Tigress. Waiting for money is mentally stressful.”

In other news….. Tochi Okechukwu, widely known as Tochi from Nigerian reality TV, has criticized the Federal Government’s recent decision to appoint Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly called KWAM 1, as an aviation security ambassador.

Sharing his thoughts on Instagram, Tochi expressed concern over the move, highlighting how many individuals may have faced wrongful punishment in the past simply because their stories did not gain traction on social media.

According to Naija News, he described the appointment as troubling and questioned how someone previously accused of obstructing a plane’s takeoff could later receive such a prominent role.

He wrote: “From this airline situation, just imagine the number of people that have been wrongly jailed or persecuted just because social media didn’t carry their story… just imagine. An ordinary civilian prevented a whole plane from taking off, and you made him aviation security ambassador. That’s a new low even for us.”

This statement follows the Federal Government’s reduction of KWAM 1’s flight ban from six months to just one month. The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) also revealed plans to collaborate with him in promoting proper airport security measures.
