am I a bad wife to be? -- UPDATED

My husband to be asked me to transfer all my life savings into his account so that he could make a visa application for his mum to come to the country for our wedding and that he will pay me back after the application...He said he would not use the money but wants it in his account as evidence that he could look after his mother when she comes and apparently the immigration will ask for his bank statement?... this arrangement does not sit well with me at all. We are not even married yet! I have been thinking about saying no to him, but wouldn't that make him lose his trust for me  and make me look like a bad woman? I am 26 and my husband is 35. This is my whole life savings and also some of the money will go towards our wedding costs.. I just don't know what to do
Update: I told him that I couldn't transfer my life savings to him... I offered to be the second sponsor and to provide my bank statements, I even offered to write the invitation letter on our behalf... he said "you really don't trust me do you? I told you how much it will mean for my mother to be at my wedding... at least let her see her son marry before she dies. well don't be surprised if I don't show up on our wedding because I can't see myself married to someone that would not be there for me when I need her the most. Oh happy birthday by the way"...

For those asking, I have known my fiancé for 2 years since I was turning 24.... he is Nigerian and I am an Englishwoman... I genuinely do love this man, I really do but I am so confused! Our wedding is all planned and ready for next month. I don't see him as a scammer, he is a good man. Of cos I trust him but transferring my life savings to him would leave me with not even a penny to feed with. We met up yesterday for cake tasting but he barely said a word to me. At the end of the outing, he said "I have always been there for you and you will let me down when I need you the most". My heart sank.
