Nigerians criticize media's silence on allegations that President Tinubu awarded his son Seyi Tinubu's company a contract for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Project. The project involves Chagoury Brothers, raising concerns about transparency.
Recent revelations by Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, have stirred controversy, exposing ties between political figures and business interests. Atiku alleged that Seyi Tinubu, son of President Tinubu, serves on the board of CDK Integrated Industries, a Chagoury Group subsidiary involved in major projects like the Lagos-Calabar coastal road.
Instead of independently investigating Atiku's claims, Nigerian media outlets are reporting them as he stated, prompting criticism from Nigerians who accuse the media of bias and being beholden to the president. This highlights broader concerns about media integrity and its role in holding public figures accountable.
