Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has described his father as the greatest president in Nigeria’s history. The statement was made during a gathering of youths in Adamawa State, where Seyi praised his father’s leadership and commitment to youth empowerment and economic growth.
In a viral video shared on Monday, Seyi said, “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 highlighted President Tinubu’s focus on youth development, stating, “He is the only president that has kept your people at home, from when he was governor to when he became president, the only president that considers youths, the only president that created a platform for young people to fly. The only president that created an economy that has benefitted everybody, the only president that is not trying to enrich his own pocket.”
Seyi has been actively engaging with communities across northern Nigeria, distributing food items and participating in Ramadan activities. Earlier in March, he joined Kano residents, including the state chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Hashimu Dugurawa, to break the Ramadan fast. He has also visited Yobe State as part of his efforts to connect with youths and support grassroots initiatives.
The remarks come amid ongoing debates about President Tinubu’s policies and their impact on the nation. While Seyi’s comments reflect his personal admiration for his father, they have sparked mixed reactions from the public, with some applauding the president’s efforts and others calling for more tangible results.
