Wednesday, September 24, 2025 - Former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has described as eye service donations made to people in the corridors of power.
Sani made the claim in a post on his official Facebook page
on Tuesday while reacting to the over N20 billion raised by President Bola
Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu for the National Library.
The First Lady on Tuesday announced that she raised
more than N20 billion so far towards the completion of the National
Library project in Abuja.
Reacting, Shehu Sani said that Remi was lucky, stating that
the wife of former President, Musa Yar’adua, who made a similar move, was
unlucky.
According to Sani, many people who pledged to donate
billions to her International Cancer Center refused to redeem their pledge
after Yar’adua’s death.
The post reads, “First lady Senator Remi is lucky to raise
N20 billion for the National Library that has been abandoned for close to 40
years.
“That is commendable and well appreciated. Her Excellency
Hajiya Turai Yar’adua was not that lucky; Many people who pledged to donate
billions to her International Cancer Center refused to redeem their pledge
after Yar’adua died.
“The project remained stalled for over a decade along
Airport Road, Abuja.
“Most Donations are ‘eye service’ for people in power. Our
First lady should make sure they ‘send alert as quick as possible’. Happy
Birthday to the Distinguished First Lady”
