Reactions As Lawmaker Gifts Daughter SUV For Graduating From Secondary School (Pictures)
Tongues have been wagging over the decision of a member of the House of Representatives from Plateau State, Yusuf Gagdi, to gift his daughter, Aisha, a new Sport Utility Vehicle as a gift on her graduation from a secondary school.
The girl graduated from Lead British International School Abuja.
The lawmaker surprised Aisha who was said to have excelled in her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, with the luxury vehicle.
Sharing pictures from the graduation ceremony on Instagram on Saturday, Gagdi wrote, โToday, I attended my amazing daughterโs graduation ceremony. Watching you, my dear daughter, walk across that stage fills my heart with immense pride and love.
โI celebrate your achievements and the strength youโve shown. Hereโs to a future filled with endless possibilities and happiness.
Congratulations, my shining star!โ
On Sunday, Gagdi further shared a report by #northern_trending_ on Instagram, which confirmed that he surprised her with a car gift.
The report partly read, โTo celebrate her graduation and great performance in JAMB, her father surprised her with a gift of a car.โ
The lawmakerโs gesture has generated mixed reactions on social media, with some praising his generosity and others criticising the extravagant gift amidst Nigeriaโs economic challenges.
One Yusuf tweeting as #kubcy17 on X.com wrote, โAbsolute nonsense and rubbish in this trying time. Hon. Yusuf Gagdi doesnโt have a single respect for the people of his constituency.โ
Haidar, tweeting as #AliyumuazuIbra2, wrote, โItโs not surprising to see that a car, which even university graduates and professors dream of owning, is given as a gift to a secondary school graduate.
โIf she completes university, she might receive a private jet or a personal yacht as a gift.โ
Some others, however, stood on the side of the lawmaker.
#Uthmann__ wrote on X.com, โHon. Gagdi only displayed the car he gifted to his daughter after graduation from secondary school.
โPeople celebrate their children according to their pockets. This is nothing new in Abuja. And this is even a gift from dad to his daughter.โ
