Nigerians react, wonder in what capacity does Seyi Tinubu deserve road to be named after him

Nigerians on social media have knocked the governor of Sokoto State, Ahmad Aliyu over the naming of a road in the state after Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.

The road formerly called “Pepsi Road” was renamed “Seyi Tinubu” road in a ceremony recently done to commission the road.

For many who commented on the renaming of the road after Seyi Tinubu, they say it was the height of sycophancy.

@JaafarSJaafar said: “It seems the Sokoto governor holds a degree in Sycophancy Science.”

@afrisagacity said: “The question is, on what grounds do you name a state road after Seyi Tinubu? In what capacity does he deserve to have a road named after him – because he’s the son of the President? This is just a classic case of Politics of Patronage in Nigeria.”

@jrnaib2 said: “Even Lagos didn’t name a road after Seyi Tinubu, but Sokoto governor must impress Tinubu.”

@UncleAnass said: “This is how @Ahmedaliyuskt is denigrating the name of Sokoto with his lack of capacity and sheepishness. Imagine naming a road after Seyi Tinubu. Not even the Tinubu self. Mtschew. This is so denigrating. This is really pathetic. Allah ya isa.”
