Nigerian First Lady, Remi Tinubu, has reacted to the backlash that greeted her small-scale business advice, where she urged unemployed Nigerian women to embark on frying bean cake, popularly known as akara, for survival.
The advice captured in a viral video triggered anger amongst
Nigerian youths, who slammed the First Lady for allegedly despising Nigerians.
Reacting to the backlash, Remi Tinubu, while speaking in
Jigawa State on Monday, said they were not intimidated by the outbursts.
According to her, the targeted recipients of the advice are
happy with it, stating that her office also supports tomato sellers and other
petty traders.
She said, “I heard people talking about akara sellers. It is
not only akara sellers. We are also supporting tomato sellers, maize sellers,
vegetable sellers, and many other petty traders.
“I know the beneficiaries appreciate it, and we’re not
intimidated by the wrong reports, we will continue to make sure that we care
for our people”.
