The President’s son, Seyi Tinubu, has responded to social media critic Isaac Fayose after he questioned the heavy security presence around him during the Port Harcourt City Boy Walk.

Seyi told Fayose to “behave” in a comment on the latter’s Instagram video, which criticised Nigerian youths for

supporting President
Bola Tinubu’s administration and participating in the political event.

The exchange, which occurred on November 7 and gained traction on Monday, saw Seyi describe Fayose as his “content creator Egbon” while defending the security personnel at the walk.

“My content creator Egbon e behave ara yin o (elder brother, behave yourself). You and I both know that those gallant men and women were there for the city boy walk in PH, which was a success by the way. Vote APC,” Seyi wrote.

Fayose had shared a video criticising the turnout and organisation of the Port Harcourt event, held on November 6, while questioning why Seyi was accompanied by a large security contingent comprising police officers, Department of State Services operatives and civil defence personnel.

In the video, Fayose also faulted young Nigerians who supported the walk, accusing them of prioritising politics over pressing national issues, including insecurity and economic hardship.

In a caption accompanying the video, he wrote, “Gen Z in Nigeria means Gen Zero!!! Lazy youth everywhere like pure water. Very soon APC go bu£y una.”

He further criticised the youths, saying, “See what the youths all around the world are doing but you Gen Z, you are the Gen Zero of our time, the country is going cuckoo, and you are there.”

The Port Harcourt City Boy Walk was organised as part of activities associated with the City Boy Movement, a political support group backing President Tinubu.
