A lady has sparked intense conversations online after posting a video showing a Ramadan food pack she claimed was distributed by Bola Tinubu.
The relief package, packaged in a box featuring the president’s image, reportedly contained various food supplies intended to assist Muslims observing the Ramadan fast.
In the now widely shared video, the woman enthusiastically revealed the items inside the box. The package included staples such as rice, spaghetti, macaroni, cooking oil, seasoning cubes, sugar, salt, tea, and milk.
She commended the initiative, saying the support came at an appropriate time as families prepare for the fasting season. However, her excitement soon triggered mixed reactions across social media.
Some users applauded the gesture, describing it as much-needed assistance given the current surge in food prices. Others, however, criticised the move, labeling it a form of political symbolism rather than a long-term solution to economic hardship.
A number of commenters argued that such handouts highlight broader financial struggles in the country, accusing political leaders of focusing on temporary relief instead of addressing structural issues.
There were also warnings against linking welfare distributions to political allegiance, with some insisting that receiving food aid should not determine citizens’ voting decisions.
Conversely, supporters defended the initiative, stressing that charitable acts during religious periods should not be politicised. They maintained that accepting food assistance does not equate to endorsing any political figure and pointed out that similar efforts have been carried out by previous governments.
As discussions continue, the video has once again brought attention to ongoing debates surrounding poverty, governance, and the impact of relief programmes during religious seasons in Nigeria.
