President Bola Tinubu has sparked fresh reactions on social media after affectionately referring to First Lady Oluremi Tinubu as "Iya Alakara" during a public appearance, a remark many believe was linked to the recent controversy surrounding her comments about akara business.
The President's playful nickname came as the "akara" discussion continues to trend online, with many Nigerians interpreting it as a sign that the presidency is aware of the widespread criticism and jokes circulating on social media.
While some supporters viewed the exchange as a lighthearted moment between the couple, others argued that the remark appeared insensitive given the country's current economic challenges.
The moment quickly went viral, prompting many Nigerians to share their opinions online.
Some reactions read:
"Country dy spoil, Tinubu and e babe dy play love."
"Nothing annoys me more than that clap they always clap."
"So he knows about the Akara and Kuli Kuli saga. That means he's totally aware of the people's complaints. Y'all see the implication now?"
"Turning our predicament to jokes won't let these people take us seriously. It's not even funny."
"They don dey gossip about us for their bedroom. Remi don rub baba head. Yeye couple."
"Now they are making fun of us. It's well. Next year we move again."
The exchange has continued to generate debate online, with some Nigerians describing it as harmless banter between the President and the First Lady, while others insist public officials should be more sensitive to citizens' concerns amid the country's economic hardship.
