The Digest:

A viral video has surfaced showing Jennifer Adighije, Managing Director of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), presenting a cash donation of 20 million naira to actress Sarah Martins while explicitly stating it was from Seyi Tinubu. This directly contradicts the President's son's earlier denial of being the donor, creating a potential controversy around the use of a state-owned enterprise official for private charitable deliveries.

Key Points:
  • A viral video shows NDPHC MD Jennifer Adighije presenting N20 million to Sarah Martins.
  • Adighije explicitly states the cash is from Seyi Tinubu, who is "out of the country."
  • This contradicts Seyi Tinubu's earlier claim that donations came from "a group of friends."
  • The donation followed Martins' clash with Lagos KAI officials over a street charity event.
  • Seyi Tinubu had previously stated he does not support actions that "violate state laws."
  • Sarah Martins became emotional in the video, blessing Seyi Tinubu for the gift.
  • The incident raises questions about the role of a state enterprise MD in private donations.
The footage directly challenges the narrative of a purely private charitable act, placing a government official at the center of a politically sensitive transaction.
