Ayekooto Slams Falz Over Comments on Remi Tinubu

Ayekooto Akindele, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), responded to Nigerian rapper Folarin Falana, known as Falz, following his remarks about Remi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria. In a recent interview with Arise TV, Falz criticized the First Lady's appeal to artists to support small businesses instead of buying flashy cars.

He argued that the government should be responsible for alleviating poverty and supporting business owners, rather than placing the burden on individuals. In reaction to Falz's comments, Ayekooto accused him of speaking in jargon and failing to address the First Lady's appeal directly.

He emphasized that Falz did not mention the First Lady by name and suggested that she is aware of her own need for help, referencing her career struggles. Ayekooto's comments reflect a broader political discourse regarding the responsibilities of government versus individual contributions to societal issues.
