Criticism has surged on social media targeting Toke Makinwa’s attendance at the ongoing COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai.
Makinwa expressed her enthusiasm for the event in a tweet, citing its importance in addressing global climate concerns.
However, critics have scrutinized her presence, questioning the relevance of her attendance, alongside others, to climate change discussions.
Some users condemned the use of public funds for what they perceive as unnecessary travel, while others defended Makinwa’s participation, commending her involvement as a step towards advocating for climate change awareness.
The ongoing COP28, hosted by the UAE, seeks to address climate issues and runs from November 30 to December 12.
While reacting, a tweep identified as Serah Ibrahim, tweeted,”Toke Makinwa included as item 7 on Tinubu’s 1,411 delegates to the Climate Summit in Dubai.
“Since Toke Makinwa was included as “item 7” by Tinubu and his Gang to a Climate Change event in Dubai,
only God knows how many more “item 7” is on that list of 1,411 people being sponsored using Nigeria’s tax payers money.
“Our Tax Payers money is being used to carry frivolities for political events.
“Other nations are going there with the needed people, Nations that are richer than us but Nigeria politicians are going for the Summit with Toke Makinwa.The only thing in the head of Tinubu and is Gang is Ta Ta Ta.
“Because why will use our money to carry “Item 7” for a political summit.”
Also @Darey tweeted, “Toke Makinwa is attending Climate Change event…
“Can Toke give us the data on how her business has been employing Sustainability practices in their dealings?
“Do they have data on their Carbon footprint?How is a climate change event a High level party?
“Also, Nigeria wants to rollout ELECTRIC BUSES? 🤣🤣🤣That’s a Joke i guess. More like Airplanes would be manufactured in Nigeria in 2023.”
Another tweep identified @Sam, tweeted,”This is why Nigerian celebrities will never speak up against Nigerian government. The status quo favours them and who wants to take food out of their mouth? Imagine Peter Obi carrying Toke Makinwa to Dubai to flex_.
