IGoSave took to his Instagram story on May 31, 2026, where he challenged the first ladies on their role as mothers and guardians of the nation.
He wondered how they could remain quiet while innocent children were still held captive and suffering in the hands of terrorists.
“Where are all the First Ladies in this country? Are you people true mothers? How do you all sleep at night knowing these innocent kids are still in captivity and being dehumanised?”
IGoSave further lamented that their silence was painting a disturbing picture, making evil appear more acceptable.
He urged them to rise to the occasion, speak out and push for the release of the abducted children.
“Your behaviours are making the Devi look like a good man. Speak up, act and get those Kids out now 💔💔”
In another post, he described the first ladies as “Nigeria Toothless Lionesses” and pressed them again to break their silence.
“Nigeria Toothless Lionesses why are y’all silent? Speak up for these innocent kids 💔💔”
His call has sparked conversations online, showing the demand for stronger voices against insecurity in Nigeria.
Many internet users compared President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's wife, First Lady Remi Tinubu, to Patience Dame Jonathan, the wife of former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
