In a moment that has sparked widespread outrage on social media, Olu Martins, the Deputy Director-General for Media in the Asue/Ogie PDP Campaign, left viewers stunned when he cited a shopping mall, including a ShopRite franchise in Benin as among the major achievements of the outgoing People’s Democratic Party (PDP) administration. This occurred during a live interview on national television.
The drama of a ShopRite franchise in Benin as a legacy unfolded when journalist Dapo Adegboye asked Martins to name just three significant projects accomplished by the current PDP administration. In a response that has since gone viral, Martins included a shopping mall as a key example of the government’s success.

Social media users were quick to react, expressing disbelief and frustration over what many saw as a trivialization of governance. The clip of the interview quickly circulated online, with critics questioning whether a shopping center could be considered a substantial legacy of the administration.
The backlash was swift, with many commentators accusing the PDP of lacking substantial achievements and pointing to the mention of a shopping mall as a sign of misplaced priorities. Others criticized Martins for failing to highlight more impactful projects that could have better represented the administration’s efforts.
