Mixed reactions greeted Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the first
daughter of President Bola Tinubu’s Independence Day speech.
Tinubu-Ojo, the Iyaloja-General of Lagos State, in a
now-viral video on Monday, urged citizens to “keep the hope” alive for a better
Nigeria, despite the challenges that abound in the country. She added that she
believed “Nigeria would still work for every Nigerian.”
“Happy Independence celebration to every Nigerian,
especially my beloved father, Mr. President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR,
and mother of the nation, my own mum, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON.
“The founding fathers, founding mothers of our great nation,
Nigeria, we need to keep our hopes alive; the flames of hope must continue
burning in us.
“Our hope is being renewed, and I’m very positive that this
Nigeria will still work for every Nigerian and all the beloved sons and
daughters, the founding fathers, the founding mothers,” she said.
Tinubu-Ojo’s speech has since got many talking as netizens
queried in what capacity she addressed Nigerians.

independence speech. Nigerians do not learn.”
#PO_GrassRootM added, “This is Tinubu’s daughter speaking on
Independence Day. The question is in what capacity is the daughter of Tinubu
speaking? Power drunken family.”
#abbeyadenrele wrote, “Let’s await the speech of the first
son too. And probably the first in-law speech will follow.”
#Alagbakenneth added, “Get hold of your family and keep
their thirst for power supremacy far away from governance and the public
domain.
Speak of domestic issues privately and leave governance to
PBAT. SMH.”
While many berated Tinubu-Ojo for her Independence Day
speech, some others supported her.
#nytade wrote, “Why is she under fire o? Isn’t she free to
give her speech as a market women leader? Did she force anyone to tune in to
her speech?”
#segunjohnsonno1 also wrote, “Don’t crucify PBAT’s daughter
o! Madam Iyaloja general was just making fun, not giving a speech. She is
happy, and it can equally happen to any person to feel happy seeing his or her
parents atop the affairs of a country.”
