Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has defended his father against allegations of corruption, saying he is the only Nigerian leader not interested in enriching himself.
Speaking to a group of youths in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, during a Ramadan fast-breaking event, Seyi lamented the persistent attacks on his family but insisted that his father remains committed to Nigeria’s progress.
“It was never about 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 said.
“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. The only president that created an economy that has benefited everybody, the only president that is not trying to enrich his own pocket.”
His remarks come amid renewed scrutiny of President Tinubu’s administration following criticisms from former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who recently described the government as corrupt.
