The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos has warned the
Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, against
politicizing philanthropic gestures, especially the donation to the National
Library by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, during her birthday
celebration.
The state APC spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, who gave the
warning on Monday, said public institutions worldwide often benefit from
private donations and endowments, which complement government efforts in
nation-building.
Oladejo stated that such contributions should be encouraged
as they reflect shared responsibility for strengthening public institutions.
He called on Nigerians to view the First Lady’s donation as
a positive step in supporting education and national development rather than
through a political lens.
The APC’s image maker stressed that the priority should be
to strengthen national institutions and foster a culture of public-private
partnership for the common good.
Recall that Obi had pointed out that Nigeria does not need
to wait for birthday gifts before completing its National Library.
