<p>A storm of controversy is brewing around Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN) has issued a statement accusing her of religious bias in the distribution of humanitarian aid across the country.</p>
<p>The SCSN, a prominent Islamic body representing the interests of the Muslim Ummah, claims that the First Lady’s widely publicized Renewed Hope Initiative has disproportionately favored Christian communities, leaving Muslim-majority areas in the shadows during times of crisis.</p>

<p>The SCSN in a statement sigend by its president Sheikh Dr. Bashir Aliyu Umar, and Nafiu Baba-Ahmad, mni<br />
Secretary General while acknowledging her recent visit and donation to flood victims in Mokwa, Niger State, the Council criticized the timing and scale of the intervention, describing it as “too little, too late.” More troubling, they argue, is a pattern of selective outreach that has seen billions of naira and truckloads of relief materials channeled almost exclusively to Christian-dominated regions such as Plateau and Benue States.</p>

<p> ;</p>
<p>Sheikh Dr Bashir Aliyu Umar said the key allegations Include:<br />
&#8211; â¦500 million donation to Christian families in Plateau (Sept 2023)<br />
&#8211; â¦5 million and 1,200 bags of rice distributed via Christian political forums in 19 northern states (Dec 2024)<br />
&#8211; â¦1 billion relief package to Christian-majority areas in July 2025<br />
&#8211; No comparable aid to Muslim victims of boat disasters, killings, or displacement in Zamfara, Katsina, Niger, and Kwara</p>
<p>The Council also reminded the presidency of the pivotal role the Muslim Ummah played in securing the Tinubu/Shettima victory, especially during the contentious Muslim-Muslim ticket debate. They expressed disappointment that the First Lady’s denomination, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), allegedly opposed the ticket, yet now appears to be the primary beneficiary of her humanitarian outreach.</p>

<p>The SCSN urged Senator Tinubu to “rise above partisan and sectarian instincts” and embrace a more inclusive approach that reflects Nigeria’s religious diversity. “Compassion loses its moral power when it appears to follow political loyalties or religious lines,” the statement read.</p>
<p>As tensions simmer, political analysts warn that the First Lady may be treading a path reminiscent of past administrations where perceived sectional favoritism became a liability. Whether she will recalibrate her outreach to heal growing divisions remains to be seen.</p>
