@NaijaQueen: “Respect to her for shooting her shot, but this is a serious public figure.”

“She has the right to shoot her shot. Tinubu is over 70 and she should reconsider her choice and look for under 30 boys in Yobe”.
“Make Remi Tinubu catch you first, you gonna learn”
“Just say you want One bag of rice ????????????”
“Lol, well who can question the desire of a young woman. But she should be aware that every woman in Nigeria that’s available for marriage will not refuse Tinubu’s hand in marriage despite his age. That’s reward for power and influence. So she’s not alone in nursing that desire.”
“She won’t be the only one with that desire. There are many so discreet about it????????????????”
