Renowned journalist Oseni Rufai, has questioned the significance of the erected golden statue of Oluremi Tinubu.
Recall that on October 11, in a grand ceremony at Obafemi Awolowo University in Osun State, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, unveiled a golden statue of Oluremi Tinubu, among other honours.
Reacting to this development, Rufai took to his X handle to demand the need for such statue asking if it will reduce the price of rice in the market.
His post reads,”What was the golden symbol of the First Lady in Ife all about? What’s the significance of that? How does it reduce cost of rice in the market?.”
However, Nigerians on X has relayed their opinions. A twitter user, Yoruba Obidient humorously wrote this,”Uncle, who told you it doesn’t have any significance????? It has a lots of significance for APC supporters o, when they get to market , their own is to show the market women the gold statue of pastor remi. Lobatan, a bag of rice will be sold 20k. Gaskia.”
“Looking at it will make me change my mind and make me sell off my products cheap,”John Thomas and 11,000 others tweeted.
Another tweeter user, ThE 4ruNneR wrote,”May e very soon we’ll be asked to bow before it as showing respect just as in Daniel 3: 1 – 18, Nebuchadnezzar made a golden image.”
