Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has made a bold statement, declaring his father as the greatest president in Nigeria’s history.
Speaking in a viral video, Seyi passionately defended his father’s leadership, highlighting his commitment to youth empowerment, economic growth, and national development. His remarks come amid increasing public debates over the impact of Tinubu’s policies since taking office.
Tinubu Has Transformed Nigeria for the Better – Seyi Tinubu
In his speech, Seyi Tinubu insisted that his father’s leadership has significantly benefited Nigerians, particularly young people. He described President Tinubu’s governance as transformative, arguing that his father has built a platform for youths to excel while ensuring economic prosperity for all.
“It was never about politics, but they keep attacking me, my family, and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Yet, he remains the greatest president in the history of Nigeria,” Seyi passionately stated.
“He is the only president that has kept your people at home, the only president who truly considers the youth, and the only one who has built a platform for young people to thrive.”
He further emphasized that Tinubu is a selfless leader who prioritizes the nation’s well-being rather than personal enrichment.
“The only president that created an economy benefiting everyone. The only president that is not trying to enrich his own pocket,” he added.
A Divisive Statement Amid Economic Hardship
While Seyi Tinubu’s remarks paint a positive image of his father’s administration, his claims sharply contrast with the economic realities faced by many Nigerians. Since assuming office, Tinubu’s policies—particularly the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of exchange rates—have led to inflation, skyrocketing food prices, and economic hardship.
Despite this, Seyi believes that his father’s policies are setting the foundation for a better future, urging Nigerians to be patient. However, his words have triggered mixed reactions, with many questioning whether the administration’s economic reforms have truly benefited the masses.
Omoyele Sowore Strongly Disagrees, Calls Tinubu’s Leadership “Terrible”
Not everyone shares Seyi’s optimistic view of his father’s presidency. Prominent activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore, has strongly condemned Tinubu’s leadership, labeling it as one of the worst in Nigeria’s history.
Sowore, a vocal critic of the government, took to social media to express his frustration over the economic downturn. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he accused Tinubu of formulating harmful economic policies that have worsened the country’s financial stability.
“Tinubu’s policies are killing the economy, and millions of businesses have collapsed under his administration,” Sowore wrote.
He further alleged that over 7.2 million businesses have shut down due to rising operational costs, high inflation, and economic mismanagement.
“The naira has plummeted, businesses are shutting down, and ordinary Nigerians are struggling to afford basic necessities,” he added.

As the debate continues, President Tinubu’s government remains under intense scrutiny, with many Nigerians waiting to see whether his reforms will lead to real economic progress or further hardship.
