Bola @AsiwajuTinubu, who didn’t visit or donate one kobo to victims of the Sasa market crisis, or to victims of the Ijesha market fire in Lagos, has today donated ₦50 million to victims of the Katsina market fire. Obviously, Tinubu’s charity does not begin at home#TableShaker

Tinubu didn't donate a kobo after Sasa crisis, he didn't donate when Akesan happened, he was mute during the Abule Addo but quick to rush down to Katsina to drop 50m.

We can't dictate how he intends to spend his money but the posturing is too obvious. Trying to satisfy a region.
Tinubu was chancellor during Lautech intense strike and a crowdfund was called, Makinde put 5m, Tinubu put nothing.

Abule Addo people have been displaced for a year, nothing from Tinubu.
But the slave can put 50m to 'assist' Katsina traders.
This man will lose mercilessly in 2023
Wike donated N500m to Sokoto.

Tinubu donated N500m to Katsina.
The struggle to lick ass is real.
I will never be part of this nonsense.
I like Tinubu because he is working hard to fail.

Bola Tinubu, who did not visit or donate even one kobo to victims of the Sasa market crisis, or to victims of the Ijesha market fire in Lagos (though his own daughter is the Iyaloja, i.e. head of market traders in Lagos)…. pic.twitter.com/5whjpU7ohj
