Outrage As Lawmaker Gifts Brand-New SUV To Daughter For Secondary School Graduation

Plateau Federal Lawmaker Hon. Yusuf Gagdi has sparked a wave of reactions after gifting his teenage daughter a brand-new SUV to celebrate her secondary school graduation.

The lavish present, shared in a post by @LeadershipNGA on X, has become a hot topic, with many Nigerians expressing their concerns and skepticism.

In the images posted, Hon. Gagdi, his daughter, wife, and son were seen celebrating at the graduation venue. The opulent gift has drawn criticism, especially given the current economic hardships facing many citizens.

Several reactions have highlighted the controversy:

@ourt_destiny criticized the gift, stating, “You can see this lawmaker has lo@ted quite a lot; look at what shape it has produced.”

@habib_mowunti lamented, “Despite the hardship people are facing 💔.”

@abumuonyi96183 remarked, “See where Nigeria lo@t is landing. Oh God, come and save us. This boy is not more than 12 years old, and he’s carrying Nigeria lo@t like this. What if he reaches 20 years old?”

@SojiSamson31 questioned, “Car gift? Is okay. But that big car? It’s huge. Or else, you can reciprocate to all your constituencies and LG workers!”

@kinghabby001 sarcastically noted, “All these and much more are possible with the 500k salary they claimed to be receiving. Mea culpa, the speaker corrected the deputy speaker with the correct amount of 600k. 🤡”

@Mario33078791 added, “It is good, but whenever you’re serving the public, you need to cut some costs. We might think you are using public funds to enrich yourself and family.”

@hamzadayyabu4, ”Protest prepared”

@kinghabby001, ”All these and much more are possible with the 500k salary they claimed to be receiving. Mea culpa, the speaker corrected the deputy speaker with the correct amount of 600k. 🤡”
