Friday, May 2, 2025 - Tinubu, the son of President Buhari Tinubu, has reacted to claims made by the President of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, Atiku Abubakar Isah, that Seyi orchestrated a recent assault on him because he refused to accept N100 million to support his father's government.
While speaking at a public forum, Atiku said;
‘’I was
invited to Lagos to meet with Seyi. I met with Seyi and the Minister of Youths.
The Minister when he saw me he hugged me, we talked and I was to be offered
N100 million but the thing is it is not all about money. There are things
which I stand for. You cannot ask me to begin to promote a President who has
not done something for me to say he has done it. If he does something good, I
will promote him. We will support him as the Commander in Chief but where he
errs, you cannot say I should keep quiet, I wouldn't do that.
They felt I
was being stubborn not to accept money, to come to Lagos without accepting
money and going back.
They planned
my abduction and on the 15th of April I was abducted stripped naked, beaten
seriously in collaboration of NTA boss. I was packaged to NTA to make
involuntary statements that I have renounced my position as NANS President.''
Ibas said he made the statement so he could regain his
freedom, but shortly after his appearance on NTA, he released a statement
saying his comments on NTA were made under duress.
‘’They
claimed that they would share my naked video. They claimed that Seyi told them
that they can share the video and that nothing will happen and that even if
they k!ll me, he will order, these are the words of Ladoja..he is the one
telling me this…that he (Seyi) will order the Inspector General of Police to
cover it up and even if he doesn't do that, he will go.
This morning
somebody was asking me ‘’Do you know who Seyi is?' and I said ‘Yes, he is just
an ordinary person like myself. He is not occupying any position''
Reacting via his IG page, Seyi Tinubu denied the claim and
stated that the allegations made by Isah are all a figment of his imagination.
