Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, the first daughter of President Bola Tinubu, has gleaned negative reactions on social media after she unabashedly claimed that she is now the ‘Iyaloja General of Nigeria.’
Mrs Tinubu-Ojo made the claim when she updated her profile on the microblogging site, Twitter, with the title ‘first daughter of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN)’.
This comes barely 48 hoursr after her father was sworn in as President on Monday.
Her new Twitter bio reads, “This is the Official Handle of the Iyaloja General of Nigeria. The First Daughter of the FRN.”
It was gathered that she also holds the accolade, the ‘Iyaloja-general of Lagos State.’
In a series of tweets, Tinubu-Ojo said she had launched an initiative to support her father’s government.
She wrote, “Friends of Iyaloja Initiative (FoI) unveiled today. I can boldly say again that our youths, women and the vulnerable shall be attended to by this administration. I will fight for this cause and I believe that God Almighty shall crown our efforts with unprecedented success.
“I have decided to use my little wealth of experience, connections and human resources available to me to support my dad’s administration.
“FoI shall be focusing on: youth and women empowerment. Empowering people with special needs. Empowering the vulnerable and several other programs aimed at affecting the lives of Nigerians; especially, those in the grassroots.
“We shall be in partnership with other notable NGOs with track records of excellence in the key areas. We shall also seek collaborations with several governmental agencies, ministries and parastatals created to serve Nigerians in areas that pertain to our operational cycle.
“I can boldly say again that our youths, women and the vulnerable shall be attended to by this administration. I will fight for this cause and I believe that God Almighty shall crown our efforts with unprecedented success.”
Meanwhile, some Nigerians have reacted angrily to what seems her inmodesty.
A popular tweep, David Hundeyin, wrote, “Iyaloja General of Nigeria. These people legit have no greater ambition than to cut tickets every day for every Nigerian citizen. Even Buhari was more subtle.”
Another tweep, David Onyemaizu, wrote, “Iyaloja General of Nigeria/First Daughter of the FRN? This is just day two of your father being in power & you already think it’s a monarchy or a family business? Well, she’s actually free to use whatever titles she wants on her bio. Only becomes a problem if validated by.”
“The Iyaloja General of Nigeria. The First Daughter of the FRN. Thank God Nigeria has had Presidents before,” Karo commented.
