₦airaland Forum

The Young Parliamentarians Forum received a major boost on Friday as President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, donated an e-library and co-working space to the group.

The Forum, led by Hon. Lamiju Akala, is recognised by the United Nations, and made up of young members under 40-years-old, who meet to develop ideas and interface with young people interested in the day-to-day activities of the National Assembly.

The donation is Tinubu’s fulfillment of his promise to his friends, The Young Parliamentarians Forum, to support their aspirations and lofty ideas as budding lawmakers.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, who commissioned a state-of-the-art facility, a storey building on Mississippi Street, Abuja, which houses The Congrès, said,

“This innovative space aims to provide an enabling environment where young people can strategise, discuss national progress, and contribute to youth-oriented legislation.”

Echoing similar sentiments, the Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, also lauded the initiative.

According to him, this development is expected to have a positive impact on youth engagement and representation in Nigeria’s parliament.

Gbajabiamila said, “I wish this happened during my time as it is a good environment for young legislators to meet and deliberate on issues bothering nation building.

“I commend Mr. Seyi Tinubu for initiating this laudable project as it will further enhance the legislative process for young parliamentarians. The building houses an e-library, a physical library and co-working space for all young parliamentarians.”

Also at the commissioning was the duo of Mr. Tope Adekoya CEO 7-Fifteen Capital Ltd and Co-Chair, The 7-Fifteen Foundation, and Mrs. Adesuwa Belo-Osagie, Co-CEO 7-Fifteen Capital Ltd and Co-Founder The 7-Fifteen Foundation, who developed the Congress building for young parliamentarians, amongst a host of others.

If tomorrow, he becomes President before Peter Obi or anyone from the SE, they'd start blaming INEC and the Judiciary. The difference between Peter Obi and Seyi is the fact that Obi is donating up and down at the time he is desperate to become President whereas Seyi is donating years ahead of his political ambition just as his father did. Don't give when you are desperate; Moral of the lesson.


A round of applause for Seyi Tinubu 👏👏👏

VikingKing:
I applaud this, but let me just say: Obi has always and will always have his habit of donating to schools and hospitals. He was doing it before and after he became governor, hence the flood of humanitarian pictures during the Presidential campaign.

Another thing is that he’s donating his hard earned money. Money that he worked for. That’s why you hardly see him doling out billions. We can’t say same for Seyi who’s either donating money he’s getting as a board member in his fathers company, or just donating loot.

Two very different class of men.

PressMyButton:
Show us the before pictures and then again, was the money he looted on his daughter's account also part of his hard earned money or the state funds he looted through his fidelity bank?.. dey play.

Sheuns:


In summary, you’re preparing to slave for son just as you’re slaving for father?

VikingKing:
You saw them during the campaign.

About the funds you claim he looted, you seem to know more than the EFCC who gave him a clean sheet after his tenure as governor. I won’t ask you for proof because I’m sure you have a ton of fake newspaper headlines in your gallery for days like this, I’d only advise you send them to the EFCC for immediate investigation. Bless up!

And if by Tinubu (SNR) “Donating years ahead of his political ambition” you mean that he has been subverting the will of the people by forcefully imposing his candidates in strategic positions, then I agree with you wholeheartedly.

TheOldGods:
just shut the f up. He is donating with whose money? What job is Seyi Tinubu doing? I'm very sure it's his father that built this thing and told him to commission it for it to look like he built. You're comparing obi with Seyi, you should be comparing obi and your father. What has your father achieved and donated? But obi has donated and achieved a lot. Silly noise makers
