President Bola Tinubu comments about Nigerians who are hungry needed to be fed by the Churches they attend has been dominating discussion on all social media platforms.
While hosting Catholic Bishops at the Presidential Villa during the week President Tinubu had made the remark which has gone viral. While some Nigerians were outraged, others did not believe the President made the comments, and it could have been another AI hit job.
“Let your churches feed you. That’s why you are a member. Before I was born there was hunger. I don’t have control over the population,” President Tinubu mumbled in the video.
On X, Facebook and Instagram the comments were brutal and at the same time supporters of the President seeking re-election were consoling.
Some of the reactions on Facebook.
