Nigerians Tackle ‘First Daughter’ Over Protest
The daughter of President Bola Tinubu and Iyaloja General of Lagos, Folasade Tinubu-Ojo has sparked heated reactions on social media after she was seen in a viral video urging women in Dosumu Market, Lagos, to convince their children not to participate in the planned nationwide wide protest against hunger.
Citing the destruction caused by previous protests, including the EndSARS demonstration in the viral video on Sunday, Tinubu-Ojo urged the market women to warn their children about the dangers of protesting.
She maintained that the Lagos State Government has made significant progress and deserves support.
Tinubu-Ojo also pleaded that the Federal Government, headed by her father, should be given time to prove itself before being criticised.
In the video, Tinubu-Ojo speaking in Yoruba said, “Let’s talk to ourselves, our children and our families that there is nothing like protesting in Lagos, it is just a ploy to destroy the country. See the last protest and the damage that was caused. Let’s not because a party is paying some people to fight, let’s not allow our children to participate.”
Speaking in English she said, “There is nothing like protest in Lagos State because the government of Lagos State is making us proud. They are making us happy, they gave us a sense of belonging.
“The government at the centre just assumed office. Before you say a government is not doing well, let it last three years, at least.
Prevention is better than treatment. We will not suffer loss of lives. Let everyone warn her children.”
