Yusuf’s gesture has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media.
While some commenters praised his fatherly generosity, others criticised the action, especially coming at a time when Nigerians are facing serious economic hardship.
Below are some of the reactions;
It’s 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. If she completes university, she might receive a private jet or a personal yacht as a gift. – @AliyumuazuIbra2 wrote on X.
Hon. Gagdi only displayed the car he gifted to his daughter after graduation from secondary school. People celebrate their children according to their pockets. This is nothing new in Abuja. And this is even a gift from dad to his daughter.” – @Uthmann__
Absolute nonsense and rubbish in this trying time. Hon. Yusuf Gagdi doesn’t have a single respect for the people of his constituency. – @kubcy17
