“Behave Yourself!” – Seyi Tinubu Fires Back At Isaac Fayose Over Port Harcourt ‘City Boy’ Walk.
Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has criticised political commentator Isaac Fayose over his remarks about the City Boy movement’s walk in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Fayose had taken to social media to question the gathering, describing it as a waste of time and expressing doubts about the number of people who attended the event.
Responding in the comment section of the post, Seyi urged the businessman to conduct himself properly instead of criticising the group’s activities.
He defended the Port Harcourt walk, describing it as a successful and peaceful gathering organised by young Nigerians in support of President Tinubu and his administration.
Seyi wrote: “My content creator Egbon e behave ara yin o. You and I both know that those gallant men and women were there for the city boy walk in PH, which was a success by the way. Vote APC.”
In a related development, Fayose has alleged that he is being targeted with false accusations because of his support for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, made the allegation in a video shared on his verified Facebook page on Sunday.
He was reacting to a post by an unnamed blogger linking him to a rape allegation, which he denied, describing it as a fabrication intended to damage his reputation because of his refusal to withdraw support for Obi.
Fayose further alleged that individuals who turn down offers from the All Progressives Congress (APC) are often subjected to smear campaigns.

The socialite alleged that a bridge had stopped serving its intended purpose following work carried out on it under Umahi’s supervision.

Chief Priest questioned what Umahi was relying on to persuade people in the South-East to vote for Tinubu. He also alleged that the minister was positioning his son to succeed Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru.
“Minister of Works, show us project wey you do for your region; our bridge is no longer bridging since you touched it. Let us go,” he said.
The socialite further criticised the alleged plan to position Umahi’s son for the governorship, arguing that political leadership should not be treated as a family affair.
He also questioned the level of development in Ebonyi State and the wider South-East, accusing the minister of failing to address the region’s challenges.
“Pharaoh, let our people go, honorable Minister of Works; Pharaoh, let the people of the Southeast go,” he added.
