• Seyi, President Bola Tinubu’s son, has echoed his father’s words, urged Nigerians to persevere through the current challenges in the country.
• Nigerians swiftly unleashed a barrage of criticism on Seyi’s social media post, descending upon his comment section with vehement opposition to his message.

On Monday, February 19, Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, reiterated his unwavering confidence in his father’s leadership, affirming that Nigeria is in capable hands.

Drawing from his father’s presidential address on Nigeria’s 63rd Independence anniversary, Seyi expressed his belief in his father’s ability to navigate the nation’s course with excellence.

In his speech, President Tinubu addressed the current challenges confronting Nigeria, asserting that the present generation will eventually reap the rewards of enduring these hardships.

His Instagram post reads:

“There is no joy in seeing the people of this nation shoulder burdens that should have been shed years ago. I wish today’s difficulties did not exist. But we must endure if we are to reach the good side of our future,” – President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Bola A Tinubu. #HaveFaithinHim #NigeriaisinGreatHands #OurGenerationwillYieldthefruitsofthishardship #IStandwithOurPresident #RenewedHope #NigeriaismyHome.”
