‘What has Seyi Tinubu contributed’ — Sowore slams colloquium

Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has questioned the significance of a colloquium held in honor of President Bola Tinubu's son, Seyi Tinubu. In a post on X, Sowore criticized the event, asking what contributions Seyi had made to Nigerian society to merit such recognition. He wondered if the event was based on merit or simply due to Seyi being the son of the sitting president.

Sowore drew comparisons between the attention given to the colloquium and the political focus surrounding marriages into the family of former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, noting that the latter's attention waned after his death. The question arose as Nigerians continue to face hunger, unemployment, insecurity, and economic hardship under the Tinubu administration, which Sowore blamed for the current state of the nation.

He argued that, instead of celebrating Seyi Tinubu, the country should be shaming the Tinubu regime.
