In a bold and controversial statement, Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has declared that nothing—be it human opposition or divine intervention—can stop his father from completing his full eight-year tenure in office.
Speaking in a recent interview, Seyi asserted that Nigerians had their chance to oppose his father’s rise to power but failed to do so before he assumed office. He emphasized that, now that President Tinubu is in full control of the government, there is no force that could unseat him.
“If Nigerians couldn’t stop my father from becoming president after Buhari, what makes them think he would lose now when he has full control as president?” Seyi said, confidently asserting his belief in the political strength of his father’s administration.
Despite his strong words, Seyi Tinubu called on the nation to put aside political differences and work collaboratively toward building a better Nigeria. “Let’s all work together to bring out the best in Nigeria,” he urged citizens, highlighting the importance of unity in moving the country forward.
This statement from the President’s son comes at a time of growing political tensions and heightened opposition to his father’s government. Critics have raised concerns about the current administration’s policies and leadership style, but Seyi’s remarks reflect a firm belief in the resilience and determination of his father’s presidency.
While the statement is sure to spark further debate, it also underscores the confidence and resolve that the Tinubu family holds regarding the future of the current administration.
As President Bola Tinubu enters his second year in office, eyes will be on the political landscape to see whether this confidence translates into continued control or challenges for his leadership in the years ahead.
