Some Nigerians have reacted to the call urging President Bola Tinubu to appoint his son, Seyi, as the next Minister of Youth.
A Twitter user, Jerry Koko Durojaiye made the appeal on his handle @kokomatic, on Sunday, August 20.
Durojaiye said Seyi Tinubu is capable and intelligent to head the youth ministry.
He said heaven will not fall if President Tinubu appoint Seyi as a minister in his government.
He wrote: “Dear President Bola Tinubu @officialABAT, “Please kindly pick your son Seyi Tinubu as the next Minister for Youths. He is capable and intelligent. Heaven will not fall sir. Thanks.
Yours truly, Jerry Koko”
On Tuesday night, reports emerged that the All Progressives Congress State youth leaders have declared their support for Seyi Tinubu, to be the next Minister of Youth, instead of Dayo Israel.
This was contained in a letter written and signed by youth leaders from over 30 states.

One @Alaketu_2010 said, “I don’t think we should encourage this in Nigeria. We have enough young men and sports enthusiasts that can fit into that ministry. My thoughts though.”
@Atobateleblunt tagged the call for Seyi’s appointment as a minister “a trap”.
He wrote, “This is a trap. @officialABAT should not fall for it. It will be the very first bad unequalled Precidence. @officialABAT should not fall for this mediocrity. Nigeria is not a state like Osun where there is free for all.”

@ahdsall who agreed with Atobatele’s comment said, “Since Osun Governor has gathered all his family members in his cabinet, so Tinubu should do the same bah. No problems, but remember he has only 4 or probably? years to spend on d seat, i hope when d next President employs only his village pple as ministers & co, social media won’t cry”
@harkorede_ wrote, “I’m sure he wouldn’t want to try it trust me not only he’s son his capable they are millions who are capable he should pick randomly and do a background check.”
@YojuKunle also reacted, “Because he knows Naija is not Rwanda or Zimbabwe, he won’t listen to you on this.”
@Yemi_of_Lagos asked Durojaiye if he is not qualified to head the youth ministry. So you’re not worthy to be youth minister? Only worthy to be a political praise singer?”
Another tweep
@manshegzy on his part said, “Walahi heavens no go fall instead, youths go get directions Neme @itsneme No really, I suggest he picks Seyi Tinubu’s son. Your slavery is generational and forever.”
@iamtimilehin commented, “I honestly don’t think it’ll be a wise move. The election is still been contested in court by the opp parties; Nigerians are struggling with the high cost of living. It will be unwise to add a perception of cronyism. D wiser decision will be for him to put sm1 forward for d role “
