Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has stirred reactions online after a video showed him giving cash to a female passenger in Kebbi State. The incident happened during a youth mobilisation visit, with the woman reportedly receiving the money after declaring support for the president ahead of the 2027 elections.
The development has divided Nigerians, as some criticised the gesture and questioned whether it amounted to vote-buying, while others viewed it as part of grassroots political engagement.
What happened when Seyi Tinubu stopped a tricycle in Kebbi
In the viral video, Seyi Tinubu was seen approaching a Maruwa tricycle carrying passengers during his visit to Kebbi State.
He engaged the occupants in a brief conversation about their political support and asked about their preferred candidate ahead of the next presidential election.
A female passenger expressed support for President Tinubu, following which the president’s son handed her some money.
The encounter reportedly took place amid other youth mobilisation activities, with supporters also seen participating in rallies and chanting ‘Sai Asiwaju’ in support of the president.
However, the cash gift has become one of the most discussed moments from the visit, attracting questions about the use of money during political engagements.
