It was never political, but they still come for me, they still come for my family, they still come for your father, they still come for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the greatest president in the history of Nigeria,” Seyi asserted in a passionate speech. His declaration, which shortly went viral on social media, was during his tour of the northern states.

Seyi, who has been meeting with governors, political stakeholders, and community leaders since the beginning of 2025, reiterated his father’s vow to empower youths and propel the economic growth of the country. He thanked President Tinubu for putting high value on the well-being of young Nigerians, contending that the president himself was the only leader ever to provide platforms for youths to thrive.

“He is the only president who has locked your people inside, from being a governor to being a president, the only president who thinks of youths, the only president who created a platform for youths to fly,” he said. “The only president who built an economy that has benefited everybody, the only president who is not trying to fill his own pocket.”

Seyi’s words were a direct response to the political attacks and personal insults that have been raining down on his father since he assumed office in May 2023. Despite as much as he has been attacked by controversy and opposition, President Tinubu has continued to push for reforms to boost the Nigerian economy and ease youth unemployment.

As part of his visit to northern states, Seyi has been active in philanthropy, including donations of foodstuffs to individuals in communities. His poverty-eradication outreach programs and help to vulnerable individuals have been considered as part of his greater work of reaching out to Nigerians from all over the regions.

Seyi’s remarks have sparked widespread discussions online, with many supporters rallying behind the Tinubu family while others continue to voice concerns about the president’s policies and leadership. Nonetheless, Seyi’s speech underscores the family’s resilience in the face of persistent political challenges.

As the son of Nigeria’s current president, Seyi Tinubu has been going all out in canvassing for his father’s administration, with a focus on unity, empowerment, and economic growth. His northern states tour is planning to reach even longer, with additional meetings with political leaders and local community leaders lined up in the coming months.

Despite the polarized political climate, Seyi’s unwavering support for his father highlights the Tinubu family’s ongoing commitment to the country’s development. The public’s reception of his statements and actions will likely continue to evolve as the political landscape in Nigeria remains dynamic.
