Nigerians have criticised Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, following a viral video showing him handing out cash to occupants of a commercial tricycle in Kebbi State.
The video, which has generated mixed reactions on social media, captured Seyi approaching a yellow commercial tricycle, popularly known as a Maruwa, and engaging its occupants in a brief conversation before appearing to give them money.
During the interaction, the president’s son was heard asking the occupants about their political affiliations.
“I heard this state is for Atiku, that was why I came down. Who do you support?” he asked.
The footage has sparked criticism from several Nigerians, with some questioning whether the cash distribution amounted to vote-buying, while others accused the president’s family of using money to influence political support ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Some social media users also questioned why Seyi did not use the opportunity to highlight his father’s achievements rather than distribute money.
Others, however, expressed concerns about the political choices Nigerians would make during the forthcoming elections.

@Idanssssssss said: “Isn’t this vote buying?”
@ManLikeIcey commented: “Seyi Tinubu couldn’t tell her what his dad has done to be re-elected instead he bribed her with money. This is barbaric and shameful.”
@Adeyemi Olamilekan wrote: “Just look at the way they are sharing money up and down, this is what they are using our subsidy money to do.”
@ssomie reacted: “Such a terrible look. These people have stolen pieces. They have a war chest for 2027 but I know God has something in store.”
@Udochukwu Azuwike said: “That’s all they know…buy everyone with money. No good governance. No quality leadership.”
@CHabeeb commented: “After 16 January 2027, Nigerians will have to live with the economic and political choices they make at the ballot box. Collect the incentive and vote against your own interests if you choose, but once the result is in, no amount of crying will change it. Nigerians will get the government they vote for.”
@ARÓMÍSÀ LÈGB LÈGBE wrote: “It’s desperation that make them do these things. They want to buy our loyalty with our money.”
