Just two days after the swearing-in of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as president, his daughter, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo who also doubles as the Iyaloja-general of Nigeria, has taken to her Twitter handle and updated her bio as the ‘First daughter of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN)’.
A quick look at her account showed that she has a following of 22 thousand fans on the microblogging site.
Her bio futher reads: “This is the Official handle of the Iyaloja General of Nigeria. The first daughter of the FRN.”
If she had expected a rousing applause, sadly, not many came.
David Onyemaizu, wrote, “Iyaloja General of Nigeria/First Daughter of the FRN? This is just day two of your father being in power & you already think it’s a monarchy or a family business? Well, she’s actually free to use whatever titles she wants on her bio. Only becomes a problem if validated by.”
“The Iyaloja General of Nigeria. The First Daughter of the FRN. Thank God Nigeria has had presidents before,” Karo commented.
Ferejogi another fan wrote, “For those who didn’t know, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo has always been the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria. This happened several years ago. If you don’t know something, just say you don’t know. Admit your ignorance.”
Following her bio update, she quickly sent out a series of tweets announcing her initiative to support her father’s administration.
“Friends of Iyaloja Initiative (FoI) unveiled today. I can boldly say again that our youths, women and the vulnerable shall be attended to by this administration. I will fight for this cause and I believe that God Almighty shall crown our efforts with unprecedented success.
“I have decided to use my little wealth of experience, connections and human resources available to me to support my dad’s administration.
“FoI shall be focusing on: youth and women empowerment. Empowering people with special needs. Empowering the vulnerable and several other programs aimed at affecting the lives of Nigerians; especially, those in the grassroots.
“We shall be in partnership with other notable NGOs with track records of excellence in the key areas. We shall also seek collaborations with several governmental agencies, ministries and parastatals created to serve Nigerians in areas that pertain to our operational cycle.
“I can boldly say again that our youths, women and the vulnerable shall be attended to by this administration. I will fight for this cause and I believe that God Almighty shall crown our efforts with unprecedented success,” she wrote.
