Barely few days after being caught flying presidential jet for jamboree, Mr. Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has been accused of appointing his friends into government unmeritoriously.
The accusation was initiated by a former presidential aide to former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and Publisher of Point Blank News, Mr. Jackson Ude, on his “X” (formerly Twitter) handle.
Mr. Ude noted that “aside from abusing the presidency and turning the presidential jet into a flying brothel”, Seyi Tinubu has been “sharing political appointments to his friends and cronies”.
“He nominated Ayodele Olawande as the new minister of state for youth.
“Now, he has nominated his employee, one Charles Odili as the new Director General of SMEDAN (Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria).
“Seyi allegedly has up to 10 persons he nominated as Ministers,” Ude alleged.
Seyi Tinubu, it could be recalled, made headlines on Sunday when he was spotted flying a presidential jet to watch a game at the Kano International Polo Tournament on Sunday with his friends.
Photos of the young man alighting from the presidential jet in Kano flooded social media on Monday, sparking criticisms from Nigerians.
Seyi’s usage of the presidential private jet came amidst unprecedented economic hardship in Nigeria imposed by the central government headed by his father.
