Tinubu Media Centre Unveils AI Illustration of First Lady as ‘Iya Alakara’
The Tinubu Media Centre has released an AI-generated image showing First Lady Oluremi Tinubu selling akara. In the artwork, she fries akara while wearing an apron labelled “Iya Alakara, fuelling the nation with love.” This follows her recent remarks at a Renewed Hope Initiative event, where she encouraged women and youth to start small-scale ventures like selling akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli. Her comments stirred debate online, and President Tinubu later playfully referred to her as “Iya Alakara” at a State House dinner. By sharing the AI illustration, the media centre appears to lean into the nickname with a light-hearted tone. The post has elicited varied reactions on social media, ranging from amusement to criticism.
