Oseni Rufai Challenges Lengthy Government Convoy After First Lady’s Charity Appeal

Oseni Rufai Challenges Lengthy Government Convoy After First Lady’s Charity Appeal — 1 of 4
1 / 4

A heated debate has followed the First Lady’s appeal for entertainers to shift focus from luxury cars to charitable work. At the launch of the National Community Food Bank in Kogi State, she praised musicians like Burna Boy, Davido, and Asake. She noted that there is nothing wrong with owning luxury vehicles but urged them to give back more to struggling Nigerians. Oseni Rufai responded with a video of a long government convoy in motion. He shared it on X, asking if officials could cut back their escorts as well. In the footage, onlookers express surprise at the fleet’s size and one voice jokes about hoping for similar success. The post has sparked widespread online discussion about public spending and shared sacrifice during economic challenges. Should government convoys be scaled down before asking celebrities to curb luxury? Share your thoughts below.
