The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter
Obi has faulted the money allocated to the office of the First Lady by
President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Obi said the duty of Tinubu’s wife, Remi, is to take care of
her husband because the Office of the First Lady is unconstitutional.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Obi
said money allocated to the Office of the First Lady should be redirected to
girl-child education.
According to Obi: “First Lady’s office is not in our
Constitution, all the monies allocated to the unconstitutional Office of the
First Lady should have been transferred to educating and caring for the
girl-child. The First Lady’s job is to look after the husband and work with him
to ensure everything works well.”
In the 2023 Supplementary Budget proposed by President Bola
Tinubu, the sum of N1.5 billion was earmarked for vehicles for the Office of
the First Lady, N5 billion on a presidential yacht, and another N12.5 billion
on the Presidential Air Fleet.
There were campaigns on social media to stop the National
Assembly from approving the Supplementary Budget; however, the bill was given
speedy approval.
