A Group under the auspices of The Bola Ahmed Tinubu BAT Vanguard, BAT, has rose to the defense of Seyi Tinubu, Son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his call on Nigerians to be patient following the economic hardship Nigerians are facing.
Seyi had taken to his X Handle, (formerly Twitter) on Social Media to appeal to Nigerians to be patient with his Father’s administration, that things will change for the better with time. Netizens took a troll on him attacking him and lambasting his Father for been clueless.
Netizens also went ahead to say that his Wrist Watch is worth $750,000, that they are milking the nation’s treasury at the expense of the masses.
Following this brickbats, leaders of the BAT Vanguard, Hon. Sola Olofin and Barr. Jesutega Onokpasa, in a statement said it was entirely out of place and quite condemnable for a number of well-known social media trolls and their clueless cheerleaders to have singled out Seyi for particularly vitriolic trolling in the wake of his humble appeal to fellow Nigerians to be patient during this period.
The statement signed by both Olofin and Onokpasa reads; “ Indeed, we commend him for positively engaging his fellow countrymen and women while assuring them that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

“Even as the son of the President of this country, the gentleman is still a bonafide and full fledged citizen of Nigeria and is right to be concerned for the good of his fellow citizens while encouraging them to be resilient and hopeful in the midst of a challenge that we will surely overcome”, the group said.

The Group noted that Seyi has always displayed interest in the welfare of fellow Nigerians and regularly intervened to touch lives of others, the Tinubu Vanguard said current challenges are byproducts of years of mismanagement.

“The problems we are presently facing started piling up a long time ago and unless we want to deceive ourselves in this country, it should be obvious and crystal clear to everyone that they cannot be solved overnight.

“We therefore call on our fellow Nigerians to be hopeful and to remain focused and committed to the progress of this country.

“President Bola Tinubu is strenuously working hard to ameliorate the condition of our citizens and lift them out of poverty”, they added.
