Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>An APC chieftain and youth advocate, Comrade Isaac Balami has condemned in totality the constant attacks on Seyi Tinubu, stating that an attack on him should be seen as an attack on Nigerian youth and the less privileged whom Mr. Tinubu has dedicated his time to the protection of their rights and privileges.<\/p>\nBalami, who referenced the recent video of Seyi Tinubu when he accompanied President Tinubu to Rome for the inauguration of the Pope said most of such narratives were aimed at debasing Mr. Tinubu.<\/p>\n
He urged the Nigerian youth to rise against individuals who have been contracted to construct narratives meant to continuously disparage Seyi Tinubu despite his good intentions.<\/p>\n
Faulting the nature of Nigerian politics which aims to target individuals considered to be gaining popularity in the political space, Balami said, \u201csuch is clear politics of bitterness aimed to pull individuals down for the interests they tend to protect. I don\u2019t know why some people are only interested in pulling someone down so as to gain relevance. One doesn\u2019t need to disparage someone or manipulate narratives to succeed. I advise those with the \u201cPull Him Down\u201d syndrome to know that they can still succeed without necessarily trying to pull others down.\u201d<\/p>\n
He recalled how in one month, Seyi Tinubu was the target of different online bullies, referencing the incident of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, factional President who later apologized to him.<\/p>\n
The former spokesman for the Trade Union Congress, TUC, further said no month will pass without traducers dragging him on social media.<\/p>\n
Dismissing the video that Seyi Tinubu was stopped from having a handshake with the Pope, Balami said from his observation, the young man was never going to have any handshake in the first place.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the video, it is clear that Seyi Tinubu was only going to join his dad after the handshake and was simply directed to meet him on the other exit as they were about to exit the place. How someone will just sit down to initiate this narrative is beyond me.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do you conclude on what you have no empirical evidence to prove? How does mere protocol define someone\u2019s intention? Those peddling this must stop now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe the growing popularity of Mr. Tinubu whom it has been suggested is eyeing the governorship seat in Lagos in the next election has been giving some people sleepless nights. Such individuals would do anything to demarket him. But then, it is too late. Already, Mr. Tinubu is loved by young people. The level of investment on Nigerian youths remains unprecedented and Nigerian youths won\u2019t abandon him when he needs them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Balami said Seyi Tinubu is a role model to many young people based on his responsible lifestyle.<\/p>\n
According to him, \u201d We have seen cases when a president\u2019s son and other dignitaries who escorted past presidents to such an event were engrossed in frivolity as against participating in what actually took them there.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said, \u201csome will go to nightclubs, drink and party away. But we all saw how Seyi, not minding anything travelled with his father and stayed glued till the end. Many young people won\u2019t have the time for this and would deliberately avoid the trip because it is not about partying and others. I believe Seyi Tinubu is a unifier and has the capacity to unite young Nigerians. \u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat should bother young Nigerians is the level of support from Seyi Tinubu and his foundation,\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe the record is there for everyone to see. Seyi Tinubu\u2019s support for young people knows no bounds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
While cautioning young people against social media bullying, the APC chieftain said if the privileged Seyi Tinubu can go through this type of online bullying, then what becomes of the ordinary youth who aspires for bigger and better offices in future.<\/p>\n
He called on Nigerian youths to form a formidable force against those waiting to see the downfall of Seyi Tinubu.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf at this time that the world is moving at such a speedy pace we are still talking about a handshake, then we have a long way to go.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile seyi is investing in the Nigerian youths through his numerous positive engagements, michieve makers are rather investing on media propaganda to discourage the good young man,\u201d Balami said.<\/p>\n
