Student leaders are clashing over Seyi Tinubu’s role in youth affairs. NAPS praises his quiet support, while a NANS faction accuses him of political interference.
- NAPS hails Seyi Tinubu as a “bridge-builder” for youth causes
- Praised for staying supportive but not overreaching in student leadership
- NAPS President accuses a self-styled NANS leader of peddling lies
- Seyi’s style is described as “humble, non-performative and impactful”
- Media accused of amplifying voices that distort student movement dynamics
It’s a familiar Nigerian story — one figure, two narratives. On one side, NAPS paints Seyi Tinubu as a rare political offspring choosing service over showmanship. On the other hand, some in NANS allege manipulation. The tug-of-war reflects a deeper tension within student politics: the fear of being used versus the hunger for real support. At its core, it’s a test of trust, and the stakes are generational.
As student bodies wrestle over loyalty and legitimacy, the bigger question lingers: Who truly speaks for Nigeria’s youth?
