Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has sparked a heated debate after describing his father as the greatest president in Nigeria’s history.
In a viral video, Seyi praised his father’s leadership, claiming he’s prioritized youth empowerment and economic growth.
Seyi said “It was never politics, but they keep coming for me, they keep coming for my family, they keep coming for my father, they keep coming for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the greatest president in the history of Nigeria.”
Praising his father’s leadership style, which prioritised youth empowerment and economic growth, Seyi said “he is the only president that has kept your people at home, from when he was governor to when he became president, the only president that considers youths, the only president that created a platform for young people to fly.
“Asiwaju is the only president that created an economy that has benefitted everybody, the only president that is not trying to enrich his own pocket.”
Seyi’s statement has received mixed reactions from Nigerians. While some support his view, others have criticized his assertion, with some even calling President Tinubu a “terrible president”.
Activist and politician Omoyele Sowore has also disagreed with Seyi, citing the administration’s handling of the economy and accusing President Tinubu of implementing policies that weaken the naira.
