Falz slams Remi Tinubu's charity appeal, APC chieftain fires back 'stop speaking jargons'
Falz berated First Lady Remi Tinubu on Arise TV for asking Afrobeats stars to fund charities instead of buying flashy cars. The appeal came during her Lokoja visit on Saturday, where she urged Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy to support small businesses as government struggles with overwhelming demands.
Falz pushed back, arguing poverty alleviation is purely government's job. He questioned why officials feel pressured and asked if anyone forced them to seek office. He referenced the administration's 'emilokan' campaign slogan, asking how they could now claim too much pressure.
APC chieftain Ayekooto responded via X, telling Falz to stop speaking jargons. He noted the First Lady didn't mention Falz specifically, suggesting the rapper himself needs help due to 'career capsizing.' The exchange reveals ongoing tension about wealth redistribution and government responsibility for citizen welfare.
Is poverty alleviation government's sole responsibility, or should wealthy individuals also contribute to social causes?
