In a recent Instagram story, Toke Makinwa celebrated her father’s new role as the chairman of NNPC.
She expressed how proud she was, revealing that it was a well-deserved recognition after years of service in the oil industry, spanning from Mobile to this current position. Netizens, however, responded with criticism, focusing on the accompanying pictures featuring her father alongside President Tinubu.
“Congratulations Daddy, I am so proud of you Papa
Chairman NNPC &
All your years of service to the oil industry, from Mobil to this. la The man for the Job Very well deserved”
The images stirred controversy, with some alleging that Tinubu had paid her off. Toke Makinwa had previously faced backlash for joining the president during a delegation event in Dubai. This event, the Conference of the Parties, listed 1,411 attendees from Nigeria, including Toke Makinua.
The revelation sparked widespread reactions, with citizens questioning the administration’s priorities, claiming that funds for the Dubai summit should have been allocated to address the country’s pressing issues.
Critics argued that Toke Makinwa’s presence on the attendees’ list symbolized the nation’s alleged suffering under the current administration. The social media space was trending with discussions about the government’s expenditure on international events while domestic challenges persisted.
