You’re Demarketing Your Father in the North – Adnan Tells Seyi Tinubu

Published

on

 

A former House of Assembly Candidate in the 2019 general election Adnan Mukhtar Tudun-Wada has called on Seyi Tinubu to stop demarketing his father in the North

Adnan, a public relations practitioner and university lecturer, has described the recent Iftar tour by the President’s son where he was seen distributing rice as an insult to the North.

He said this in a statement he issued to newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja.

Mukhtar who also aspired for membership of Kano State House of Assembly under the People’s Democratic Party also called on Seyi Tinubu to stop the Iftar tour in the North by focusing on something that will better the life of young people in the region at a time where governance should be giving priority not politics.

“As young people who are mature enough to see for ourselves, I want to tell the President’s son that this is not the time for campaign but for governance. It’s two years to 2027 election.

Because he disrespects the North, that’s why he is sharing rice with us like beggars. This is not what we need, the President has come up with the Tax reform bill to undermine the North, the Abuja to Kano road is yet to be completed, our industries are not functioning, Katsina, Zamfara and some parts of Sokoto are not safe because of the insecurity.

He should inform his father that the North is crying fault of marginalisation. We are being sidelined. Let the President address our problems, but coming here to be giving us food is an insult.

Can he do things like this in the South, Lagos in particular where he comes from? ”

Look at how he is sitting in our traditional rulers’ palaces, without any iota of respect.

The way he shook Emir of Zazzau without any respect to our culture. Can he shake the Oba of Lagos or Oni of Ife?

I’m calling on all well-meaning youth to come out and distance themselves from the activities of Seyi Tinubu, who is neither elected nor holding a political position in his father’s government.

The government of President Tinubu is a disgrace to young people, and Nigerians are suffering from all angle

Have you ever seen the daughter of Donald Trump doing like this or that of Obama? ” He added
