Many Nigerians have expressed on X (Twitter) their displeasure with Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the first daughter of President Bola Tinubu having to show a video of what she described as an independence day speech.
The self-appointed Iyaloja-General of Nigeria on Monday urged citizens to “keep the hope” alive for a better Nigeria, despite challenges everywhere in the country, stressing “Nigeria would still work for every Nigerian.”
She added: “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.”

Hope being renewed
“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,” Tinubu-Ojo added.
But her speech did not go down well with many members of the public, and has since got them talking, as netizens question in what capacity she addressed Nigerians, according to reporting below by The PUNCH.

“This is Tinubu’s daughter speaking on Independence Day. The question is in what capacity is the daughter of Tinubu speaking? Power drunken family.”

“Let’s await the speech of the first son too. And probably the first in-law speech will follow.”

“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.”
However, a few others expressed support for her.

“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?”

“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.”
