Hajiya Fatima Aminu Aliyu Garu, the wife of Honorable Aminu Aliyu Garu, a Member Representing Bauchi state Federal Constituency, has recently become a trending topic on social media platforms X and Facebook.
This surge in attention follows her controversial empowerment initiative, where she distributed sugar cane to the youths in her community.
According to an X user named Abdulrahmam Sanusi, Hajiya Garu was seen holding bunches of sugar cane while posing for photos, which were subsequently shared online.
The initiative, intended as a means of empowerment, was met with widespread ridicule from Nigerians who questioned the practicality and effectiveness of using sugar cane as a tool for community empowerment.
The incident has sparked a broader discussion about the nature and impact of empowerment programs in Nigeria.
Critics argue that such initiatives often lack substance and fail to address the underlying issues faced by the communities they aim to help. In this case, the choice of sugar cane—a crop associated with pollution and child labor issues—has only added to the controversy.
