In the deleted post, he wrote: _”Today, I presented brand new 2026 Prado to my committed selected youth leaders to aid their election mobilisation activities.

“I am grateful to my mummy, Her Excellency Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, for her continuous support.”

The post triggered nationwide backlash as Nigerians questioned the rationale of sharing luxury SUVs, while citizens grapple with fuel at over N1,400/litre and N70,000 minimum wage.

In a communique dated October 26, 2026, the State Youth Leaders denied receiving any vehicle and accused Dayo Israel of running a one-man show.
