Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has come out in defense of his father, describing him as the greatest president in Nigeria’s history.

Speaking to a group of youths in Yola, Seyi expressed his frustration, stating that despite the constant attacks on his family, his father remains committed to making Nigeria a better place.

“It was never politics, but they keep coming for me, they keep coming for my family, they keep coming for your father, they keep coming for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the greatest president in the history of Nigeria,” he said.

“He is the only president that has kept your people at home, the only president that considers youths, the only president that created a platform for young people to fly.”

Seyi emphasized that his father’s presidency has been marked by significant achievements, including keeping people at home, considering the youth, creating platforms for young people to succeed, and building an economy that benefits everyone.

He also highlighted his father’s commitment to not enriching himself at the expense of the country.

However, Seyi’s comments have been met with criticism, particularly regarding his own efforts in distributing grants and handouts. Some have accused him of favoring the south-west region over the north.

Despite the backlash, Seyi’s remarks demonstrate his unwavering support for his father and his presidency.

The younger Tinubu has been touring northern and southern states, meeting with governors and political stakeholders to promote his father’s agenda.
