Hardship: Nigerians Slam Seyi Tinubu for Preaching Endurance
In a plea for patience, Mr. Seyi Tinubu, the eldest son of President Bola Tinubu, has ignited criticism from Nigerians for urging endurance during challenging economic times. The statement comes in the wake of protests in Ibadan and a lone protest in Uyo, where citizens expressed discontent with the rising cost of living.
President Tinubu’s economic reforms, implemented over the past nine months, have led to significant instability in the Naira’s value, causing hardships as food prices continue to escalate. Seyi, echoing his father’s words from a national broadcast, called for endurance, asserting that the present generation would reap the rewards of the current difficulties.
However, Seyi’s message faced backlash from some Nigerians who criticized him for living luxuriously while demanding sacrifices from the people. One user pointed out the irony of Seyi Tinubu wearing a Richard Mille wristwatch while discussing hardship, given the watch’s high cost.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar also weighed in, criticizing Tinubu’s economic policies, particularly the hasty implementation of the exchange rate unification. Atiku argued for a gradualist approach and expressed concern over the potential negative impact on the economy.
The post has sparked a debate on social media, reflecting the growing discontent among Nigerians facing economic challenges.
