Prophetess Esther Ajayi has come under public scrutiny following the distribution of Easter food packages branded with the image and name of President Bola Tinubu to members of her church.
The outreach, carried out during Easter celebrations, saw congregants receive various food items packaged in customized bags bearing the president’s insignia. The initiative was reportedly aimed at supporting members during the festive period, when Christians commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
While several beneficiaries expressed gratitude, describing the gesture as timely relief amid prevailing economic challenges, the branding of the packages has sparked debate across social media platforms.
Critics have questioned the appropriateness of combining religious charity with political imagery, raising concerns about the intersection of faith, philanthropy, and politics. Others, however, argued that the focus should remain on the act of giving and the support extended to church members.
As of the time of this report, there has been no official response from Prophetess Ajayi addressing the choice of branding, and the presidency has also not commented on the development.
The issue continues to generate conversations online, reflecting broader public discourse on the role of religious institutions in socio-political matters.
