Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has praised his father as the greatest leader in Nigeria’s history, emphasizing his contributions to youth empowerment and economic development.
In a viral video, Seyi addressed a group of young Nigerians, stating that Tinubu has provided opportunities for the youth and built an economy that benefits everyone.
Seyi Tinubu’s Endorsement of His Father’s Leadership
Defending the president against critics, Seyi expressed his belief that Tinubu’s administration is prioritizing young Nigerians.
“It was never about politics, but they keep attacking me, my family, and your father—Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the greatest president in Nigeria’s history,” he said.
According to him, Tinubu is the first Nigerian president to actively support youth advancement and create a thriving economic environment.
“He is the only president who has kept your people at home, the only president who prioritizes young people, the only president who has built a platform for youths to excel.
“The only president who has created an economy that benefits everyone, and the only president who is not focused on enriching himself,” Seyi added.
Sowore’s Criticism of Tinubu’s Economic Policies
However, activist and politician Omoyele Sowore holds a contrasting view, describing Tinubu’s presidency as disastrous.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Sowore accused Tinubu of implementing harmful economic policies that have weakened the naira and led to business closures.
“Tinubu has wrecked Nigeria’s economy. Since he took office, 7.2 million businesses have shut down,” Sowore claimed.
The conflicting perspectives highlight the deep political divide surrounding Tinubu’s administration, with supporters applauding his leadership while critics argue that his policies have exacerbated economic hardships.
