message
Mixed reactions have trailed the Independence Day speech of Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the first daughter of President Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu-Ojo, the Iyaloja-General of Lagos State, in a now-viral video on Monday, urged citizens to "keep the hope" alive for a better Nigeria, despite the challenges that abound in the country.
She added that she believed "Nigeria would still work for every Nigerian."
“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.
"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," she said.
Tinubu-Ojo's speech has since got many talking as netizens queried in what capacity she addressed Nigerians.
#tuodamall said There is nothing wrong in her making a speech. She is supporting his father and that’s what every child would do. I am not criticizing this ☝🏿 Iyaloja of Nigeria…🧑🏾🦯🧑🏾🦯🧑🏾🦯🏃🏿♀️
#Freeman474 She was addressing her supporters as you can see that she didn't use national tv, she has been a market leader and has been using that platform. Just that it came to your awareness lately.
#nytade wrote, "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?"
#segunjohnsonno1 also wrote, "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."
#RetrospectOfLif: What do you expect 😆 I keep saying it and will say it again,Nigerians are weak.Normally,this rubbish for no dey happen na,but we chose fear instead of doing the right thing 😔
