Connections to journalist David Hundeyin’s exposé, Femi Gbajabiamila’s visit to Chisco’s CEO, and Ruth’s repeated “fuel is ₦2k in Ghana” tweets fueled suspicion, making her disclaimer premium comedy material.

Nigerians have since crowned her “Best in PR Packaging,” joking she ran on Chisco’s fuel tank the entire trip. Memes now portray her as Ghana’s unofficial petroleum minister, while others mockingly ask if Chisco transported her tweets too.


The chatter has intensified amid fresh government fuel tax hikes, giving Ruth’s story an extra twist of irony. What started as a personal trip has morphed into Nigeria’s latest social media gist, where satire and politics collide.
