Oluremi Tinubu Urges Musicians to Aid Poor Nigerians

Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, addressed musicians Burna Boy, Davido, and Asake, urging them to assist in alleviating poverty among Nigerians. This appeal was made during the launch of a national community food basket in Lokoja, Kogi State, on a Saturday.

Tinubu highlighted the significant burden that poverty places on the government and encouraged the music stars to contribute to charitable foundations aimed at helping the poor. She referenced the charitable work of Senegalese-American musician Akon as an example for them to follow.

Tinubu expressed her desire for these artists to prioritize helping those in need over purchasing luxury cars, emphasizing that many wealthy individuals have different priorities. She called on the entertainment industry to join in the effort to support the less fortunate in Nigeria.
