Member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Akin Alabi has disclosed the reason he did not spray money at the burial of the mother of Obinna Iyiegbu, better known as Obi Cubana.
This comes after he was criticized by Nigerians on social media for dancing to the tune of Ogene singers hailing him in the Igbo language and didn’t spray any money.
Recall that Obi Cubana lost his mother in December 2020, and laid her to rest on July 16th in Oba, Anambra state.

According to the Lawmaker, he said that he is a government worker and can’t afford to spray more than he could afford to spray. He also insisted that he sprayed 9k and not 2k as people had insinuated.
He said:
Thanking Obi Cubana for hosting him, he wrote; ‘As a government worker, I could not afford to spray (or was it sprinkle) more than this. And it was not 2k as bad-mouthed people said. It was 9k. Thank you @obi_cubana for hosting us. You deserve all the love. Oya —Akin Nalabi eeehh’
