Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has called on Nigerians, especially the youth, to exercise patience and support the government’s ongoing economic reforms, which he says are designed to address deep-rooted structural challenges rather than offer immediate relief. In a viral video shared on social media, he urged Nigerians to have faith in his father’s leadership, describing President Tinubu as a transformative figure steering the nation toward a sustainable future. He emphasized that the reforms are long-term solutions aimed at fixing systemic issues that have hindered Nigeria’s development for decades.
Seyi Tinubu stressed that his father is not merely reacting to crises but actively working to rebuild the country’s foundation. “We’re asking you all to have faith in Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu. He is already driving this country in a direction this country has never ever seen,” he said in the video. He added that he continues to pray for his father’s life and for his re-election in the next term, underscoring his confidence in the administration’s vision. The message resonated with many, particularly as economic reforms have sparked public debate and frustration over rising living costs.
He specifically addressed the youth, urging them to remain hopeful and trust the government’s intentions. “This is a man who has come in and has seen cracks, instead of just trying to pass by and waiting for the cracks to continue to spread… he’s actually trying to fix it,” Seyi said. He explained that the goal is to leave behind a well-built nation with a strong legacy for future generations. “So that way, when it’s our own time, we don’t have to fix a crack. We’ll live in a house that is well built, with a great foundation, with a great legacy, for our own children to also benefit.”
In another post, Seyi Tinubu expressed frustration over online criticism of his father, stating that President Tinubu has created jobs and worked to get the economy back on track. He criticized what he described as a “lazy young youth” in the country, urging them to seek opportunities rather than blame the government. “There’s work out there, go get it instead of coming for him,” he wrote, highlighting the need for personal responsibility alongside national reform.
The statements come at a time when Nigeria’s economy is undergoing significant changes, including fuel subsidy removal and currency reforms, which have led to inflation and public discontent. Seyi Tinubu’s appeal reflects the administration’s broader effort to communicate the long-term benefits of these policies. As the reforms continue, his message serves as a reminder that sustainable progress often requires patience and collective effort. The coming months will test both the government’s resolve and the public’s willingness to support the transformation.
