Outrage As Lawmaker’s Wife Empowers Youths With Sugarcane (Pics)

A picture of Hajiya Fatima Aminu Aliyu Garu, wife of House of Representatives member Garu Aminu Aliyu, has gone viral, showing her distributing sugarcane sticks to a group of youths.

The image, of Mrs Fatima Aliyu Garu distributing sugarcane after surfacing on social media, quickly became a subject of controversy.

See the picture below;

In the comment section beneath the viral post, many netizens expressed outrage and criticism, questioning why someone of her social and political standing would distribute sugarcane instead of implementing more impactful initiatives for youth empowerment.

Critics argued that a person with such influence could do more to address the pressing issues faced by young Nigerians, such as unemployment, education, and skills development. The distribution of sugarcane, they believe, falls short of the expectations many have of leaders like Hajia Fatima Aliyu Garu and their families.
