Seyi Tinubu, the son of All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu, has sparked mixed reactions online following a rally in Kano State.
Seyi reportedly flew into Kano on Sunday in a private jet to lead a rally in support of his father in the upcoming presidential election in 2023.
Baffa Babba Danagundi, the director of the Tinubu/Shettima campaign support group, who spoke at the event, said the rally aims to encourage Tinubu supporters to obtain their Permanent Voters Card, PVC.
The rally dubbed the “one million man PVC march,” paralyzed commercial activity in the state as a massive crowd followed Seyi and his entourage.
Many Nigerians reacted differently to this; while some praised Seyi and challenged the children of other presidential candidates to do the same, opposition supporters frowned.
