A road named after Seyi, son of President Bola Tinubu, in Sokoto, has triggered a wave of negative reactions on social media.
A photo of the road was shared on X on Saturday by Abdul-Aziz Na’ibi Abubakar, a youth member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“Sokoto state governor is a big clown.,” Abubakar had captioned the photo.
Although it remains to be known if the directive to rename the road was from Ahmad Aliyu, Sokoto state governor, the development has provoked a chorus of condemnation on X.

While some users described the move as an “affront to the state’s cultural and religious values”, others questioned the motives behind the development.

This is how @Ahmedaliyuskt is denigrating the name of Sokoto with his lack of capacity and sheepishness. Imagine naming a road after Seyi Tinubu. Not even the Tinubu self. Mtschew. This is so denigrating. This is really pathetic. Allah ya isa. pic.twitter.com/J5MAq3swUI

Is it the road that matters or the name after it ?
I think what’s more important is the project, I can construct a road and named it after Fela kuti or Kalarawi.— Concern citizen (@HON_MATAZU) June 8, 2024
I’m disappointed with him.

It’s what it is. A Governor forcing himself to suit what unsuits his morals and position.

Even Buhari no get this kind loyalty from politicians oo ..I can’t really understand why everyone is worshipping Tinubu and his family just like it is in Lagos. One man has captured the whole country not only Lagos state oo..
