Amarachi Chinedu, 9, and Suwebat Husseini, 12, told him their parents couldn’t afford tuition fees. He found who their parents were and promised to take over the full responsibility of the girls’ upbringing and education.
An act that pissed many citizens off.
Reacting to the viral video in a Twitter post on Friday, Lala condemned the governor’s approach.
She wrote: “I’m certain the media & strategy team of Gov Sanwoolu wants him to be made fun of & disliked more than he already is. Because what is this photoshoot with 2 random children hawking & not in school? There is an issue with child labor & education. Create systems to solve that!”
In another tweet, the mother of one wrote: “Lasting structures and systems to solve the issues around child labor, good free education and more is taking pride in this joke. The other day it was a salon and tonging comb he was struggling with. Very what? Very good.”
