Nigerians Knock Seyi For Claiming Father Is Nigeria’s Best Ever President

NIGERIANS on social media have come after Seyi Tinubu for claiming that his father, President Bola Tinubu, is the country’s best ever President.
Speaking to some youth groups in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, he recalled persistent, but added that attacks on his family, but added that his father remains resolute in making Nigeria a better place.
Seyi, who has been touring states to break Ramadan Fast, has, however been criticised for distributing grants in the Southwest and mere handouts in the North.
He stated: “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 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 benefitted everybody, the only President that is not trying to enrich his own pocket.”
“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 benefitted everybody, the only president that is not trying to enrich his own pocket.”
This claim has not gone down well with many Nigerians online, who have criticised him, wondering how Tinubu could be the best or greatest President at a time many of them are finding it difficult to survive due to his policies, which have brought untold hardship in the country.
Apart from the recent critism of the President by corps member, Ushie Rita Uguamaye, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has labeled his administration as corrupt.
Obasanjo, in a book, Nigeria: Past and Future, released to mark his 88th birthday, described the Lagos-Calabar Super Highway as a conduit designed to steal public funds, saying it appears that the game of short-changing Nigerians would continue, because “everything is said to be transactional and the slogan is, ‘It is my turn to chop.’’
He lamented that majority of those who had been opportuned to hold leadership positions in the country were all out to corruptly enrich themselves, wondering: “How do you explain the situation of a chief executive, a governor, whose business was owing the banks billions of naira and millions of dollars before becoming a governor and within two years of becoming governor, without his company doing any business, he paid all that his businesses owed the banks? You are left to guess where the money came from.
“Having got away with that in the first term, he consigned to himself almost half of the state resources in the second term. He was a typical example of the goings-on at that level, almost universally in the country, with only a few exceptions.
“State resources are captured and appropriated to themselves with a pittance to staff and associates to close the mouths of those that could blow the whistle or raise alarm against them while in office and when they are out of office.
“The ones that are criminally ridiculous are the chief executives that deceive, lie and try to cover up on the realities and truth of action and inaction on contract awards, agreements, treaties, borrowings and forward sales of national assets. Such chief executives are unfit for the job they find themselves in.
“Typical examples of waste, corruption and misplaced priority are the murky Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road on which the President had turned deaf ears to protests, and the new Vice President’s official residence built at a cost of N21billion in the time of economic hardship to showcase the administration hitting the ground running and to show the importance of the office of the Vice President. What small minds!”
