The younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, Isaac, has disagreed with the First Lady of Nigeria, Remi Tinubu, over her statement advising rich Nigerian artistes to help the poor in the nation.

It was reports that Tinubu had called on prominent Nigerian entertainers to establish foundations and use part of their earnings to assist vulnerable citizens.

She cited Senegalese-American singer Akon as an example of a successful entertainer involved in charity work.

Tinubu said, “I want to appeal to our young ones in the entertainment industry. I have mentioned it before, and I will use Akon, a music icon who does a lot of great charity work.

However, speaking on his 𝕏 account, Fayose questioned why the First Lady had previously asked state governors to buy brand-new cars for the All Progressives Congress (APC) women leaders in their states, arguing that the money could have been used to help the poor.

Fayose said, “I saw a video of Remi Tinubu advising Davido, Burna Boy and Asake to use their music money for charity.

“I disagree with you, ma. You’re the one who asked state governors to buy brand-new cars for APC women leaders in their states. That money could have been used to help people, too.”

Prominent United States Senator Lindsey Graham, a longtime Republican lawmaker and close ally of President Donald Trump, has died at the age of 71 following a brief and sudden illness.

His office announced his death in a statement posted on its official X account early Sunday.

“On the evening of Saturday, July 11, US Senator Lindsey Graham passed away from a brief and sudden illness,” the statement read.

It added that Graham’s family “appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period.”

Graham began his career in the US Congress after winning election to the House of Representatives in 1994, where he represented South Carolina.

He was elected to the United States Senate in 2002 and went on to become one of the Republican Party’s most influential lawmakers.

During his time in the Senate, Graham served on several key committees and was widely recognised for his strong views on national security, foreign policy and defence.

Although Graham was an outspoken critic of Donald Trump during the 2016 Republican presidential primaries, the two later developed a close political relationship.

He became one of Trump’s most trusted allies in the Senate, frequently defending the administration’s policies and playing a prominent role in debates on judicial appointments, immigration and foreign affairs.

In recent years, Graham remained one of the most influential Republican voices on issues involving Ukraine, Israel and US military engagement overseas.
