Seyi Tinubu, di son of President Bola Tinubu, don dey make waves with his recent charitable acts, but some people dey question di motive behind am. Just last week, Seyi announce say he go donate N500 million to flood victims in Borno State, and dis no be di first time he dey show such generosity. He also launch a drug bank initiative wey go help over 10,000 indigent people in 60 hospitals across Nigeria, providing them with prescribed medications.
However, critics dey say dat Seyi’s actions, though noble, dey raise some questions. Why dey need di son of di president to take up initiatives wey government officials suppose handle? And why him dey spend such huge amounts of money without anyone knowing where him get am from? Some argue say Seyi’s actions dey subtly disrespect his father, President Tinubu, by highlighting di financial hardships caused by his father’s policies.
Seyi also share bags of rice branded with his picture to some poor women, asking dem to pray for him. But people dey say if Seyi truly care about dem, him no go just give dem rice; him go face his father and tell am to change di policies wey dey affect dem. Seyi’s adult life don dey tied to his father’s influence, and everything him achieve professionally na because of his father’s power.
Seyi’s struggle to win di hearts of Nigerians, especially as his father’s administration dey face criticism, dey look like him dey try to build a separate image for himself. But di method him dey use no be new; na di same old way of giving people small portion of what dem suppose get. Di love wey money buy no last, and people no go love di Tinubu family if not for their money).
