The Digest:


A video has emerged showing a woman praying fervently for President Tinubu's re-election and cursing his opponents after receiving Ramadan food aid at an event in Oshodi-Isolo, Lagos. The distribution was organized by local APC chairman Otunba Kehinde Adeola Oloyede in partnership with the Noella Foundation, providing rice, oil, and staples amid soaring food prices, where a 50kg bag now costs between N55,000 and N80,000. In the video, surrounded by 'Renewed Hope' banners and 'Asiwaju 2027' posters, the woman declared: "We have received it, Tinubu. All the people saying you will not get a second term will die an untimely death." Online reactions are sharply divided; some view it as genuine gratitude for reforms, while others condemn it as vote-buying that exploits poverty ahead of the 2027 elections.
