First Lady Remi Tinubu has broken her silence on the viral controversy surrounding her alleged involvement in an akara (bean cake) business, declaring that she and her family “are not intimidated” by the political storm.
The Akara business controversy erupted after social media claims linked the First Lady to a lucrative akara enterprise, sparking widespread debate among Nigerians.
In a firm statement, Senator Remi Tinubu dismissed the allegations as politically motivated attempts to distract the Tinubu administration from its governance agenda.
“We’re not intimidated,” the First Lady reportedly stated, emphasizing her focus on national development rather than responding to what she termed “baseless distractions.”
Political analysts suggest the Akara business saga reflects growing tensions between the presidency and opposition figures ahead of the 2027 election cycle.
The First Lady’s response signals the presidency’s resolve to push back against what it considers smear campaigns targeting the First Family.
As the Akara business debate continues to trend across Nigerian social media platforms, the presidency maintains that Mrs. Tinubu remains committed to her official duties and humanitarian initiatives.
