Seyi Tinubu did not say that nothing, not even God, could stop his father President Bola Tinubu from serving eight years in office, the City Boy Movement has stated. A claim attributed to Seyi Tinubu in a Facebook post by a user named Albab Abdullahi alleged that he made a "blasphemous" remark asserting his father's uninterrupted tenure. The post claimed Seyi said, "There is nothing that can stop my father from completing his eight years in power. Not even God is capable." The City Boy Movement, in a statement signed by its deputy director-general of communication and public affairs, O'tega Ogra, described the claim as "entirely false and malicious." Ogra stated that Seyi Tinubu has never made such a comment "at any time, in any place, through any channel, or under any circumstance whatsoever." The movement called the article a deliberate falsehood intended to damage Seyi Tinubu's reputation and incite religious tension. No video or verifiable source exists to support the claim attributed to the president's son. TheCable could not independently verify when or where the alleged statement was made, as the Facebook user provided no such details. The movement urged the public to disregard the post and warned against the reckless spread of unverified information. No legal action has been announced in response to the claim.
Seyi Tinubu's denial of a statement he supposedly made about his father's tenure exposes how easily unverified social media claims can gain traction. The absence of any recorded evidence or credible sourcing for the alleged quote undermines its validity. If such claims continue unchecked, public discourse risks being shaped by fabricated narratives. This incident highlights the danger of viral misinformation in political conversations.
