Arise Television anchor Rufai Oseni has criticised First Lady Oluremi Tinubu over her recent appeal urging Nigerian musicians to reduce spending on luxury cars and invest more in charitable causes.

In a post shared on X on Sunday, Oseni argued that government officials should lead by example before asking others to make financial sacrifices. He questioned the size of the First Lady’s convoy, suggesting it should be reduced.

“The President’s wife says musicians should buy fewer Ferraris and spend more on charity. Can government officials also reduce their convoy?” he wrote.

Oseni also shared what he claimed was the First Lady’s convoy, insisting that public office holders should demonstrate prudent spending when encouraging citizens to support the less privileged.

His comments followed the First Lady’s remarks at the launch of the National Community Food Bank in Lokoja, Kogi State, where she urged leading Nigerian artistes, including Davido, Burna Boy and Asake, to establish charitable foundations and dedicate more of their wealth to helping vulnerable Nigerians.
