Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, has called his father the greatest president in Nigeria’s history, emphasizing his significant contributions to the country’s development, particularly for the youth.
In a viral video where he addressed a group of young Nigerians, Seyi highlighted that President Tinubu had established a foundation that empowers the nation’s youth to succeed.
Seyi expressed, “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 continued by acknowledging the president’s unique focus on the country’s youth, stating, “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 further praised his father for his economic policies, asserting that Tinubu’s leadership had benefited all Nigerians: “The only president that created an economy that has benefitted everybody, the only president that is not trying to enrich his own pocket.”
However, Seyi’s comments come in the wake of criticism from activist and politician Omoyele Sowore. Sowore described President Tinubu’s tenure as disastrous, particularly in terms of Nigeria’s economy.
He claimed that 7.2 million businesses have closed since Tinubu took office and accused the president of implementing harmful economic policies that have weakened the naira.
