Seyi Tinubu Cries Out Over Viral ‘Not Even God Can Stop My Father’ Poster, Goes To Police

Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has vehemently denied making a controversial statement attributed to him on social media, declaring that the publication was fabricated to damage his reputation and create unnecessary political tension.

In an official statement issued in response to the viral publication, Seyi dismissed a poster allegedly circulated by supporters of Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, which claimed that he had boasted that nothing, not even God, could stop his father from completing an eight-year presidential tenure.

Describing the claim as completely false, he stated categorically that he never made such a statement and accused those behind its creation and circulation of engaging in deliberate character assassination and political propaganda.

He said the alleged statement was designed to misrepresent his views, incite public anger against him and unnecessarily drag his father’s name into controversy.

Seyi further disclosed that he had reported the matter to the police and relevant security agencies, adding that investigations were underway to identify those responsible for producing and circulating the publication.

According to him, necessary legal steps would be pursued to ensure that anyone found culpable is held accountable.

He condemned the growing practice of manufacturing statements and attributing them to individuals for political purposes, warning that social media should not become a platform for spreading falsehoods and destroying people’s reputations.

Addressing the religious dimension of the controversy, Seyi maintained that his father became President of Nigeria by the grace of Almighty God and that the affairs of men ultimately remained in God’s hands.

He stressed that as discussions about another presidential term continue, no individual, regardless of position or influence, could claim authority over God’s decisions.

He described the attribution of the statement, “Nothing can stop him, not even God,” as particularly offensive to his religious beliefs and an attempt to portray him as someone who challenges the sovereignty of God.

“I believe in God, I acknowledge His sovereignty, and I would never make such a statement,” he declared.

Reiterating his denial, Seyi insisted that he never uttered the controversial words and called for an end to what he described as politics of bitterness, misinformation, propaganda and deliberate character assassination.

He urged political actors and social media users to exercise restraint and responsibility rather than resort to fabricated claims to score political points.
