President Tinubu's son, Seyi, took to Instagram to offer reassurance, stating, "Our generation will yield the fruits of this hardship. Have faith in my father." However, the post ignited a wave of criticism from Nigerians, with many highlighting the perceived disparity between the Tinubu family's lifestyle and the nation's struggles.
Comments derided the call for faith, pointing to the opulence of the political elite and expressing skepticism about positive change. Some users sarcastically mentioned waiting for explanations from other figures associated with Tinubu.
Overall, the reactions reflected a deep-seated frustration with the current state of affairs and a lack of confidence in promises of a better future.
