As Nigerians continue to grapple with the high cost of living, the BAT Vanguard has absolved President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of blame.
Led by Hon. Sola Olofin, the group also threw their weights behind Seyi Tinubu for calling on Nigerians to exercise patience over the development in the country.
The group in a statement called on Nigerians to be hopeful and to remain focused and committed to the progress of this country.
“President Bola Tinubu is strenuously working hard to ameliorate the condition of our citizens and lift them out of poverty,” they noted.
“This is the Federal Republic of Nigeria; many things have happened to us in this country, they did not succeed in destroying us and we are still here. This one will not kill us. We will surely overcome it as well.”
Nevertheless, they argued that that it was out of place for a number of well-known social media trolls and their cheerleaders to have singled out Seyi Tinubu for vitriolic attack over his position on the matter.
The group commended Seyi Tinubu for positively engaging his fellow countrymen and women while assuring them that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
They noted: “Even as the son of the President of this country, the gentleman is still a bonafide and full fledged citizen of Nigeria and is right to be concerned for the good of his fellow citizens while encouraging them to be resilient and hopeful in the midst of a challenge that we will surely overcome.
“Seyi Tinubu has always displayed interest in the welfare of fellow Nigerians and regularly intervened to generously touch lives of numerous Nigerians across this country.
“He equally regularly familiarizes himself with the needs, priorities and concerns of the youths of this country even as he has always endeavoured to mobilize them for positive engagements in service to their fatherland.
“Without equivocation, we consider him a patriot and a young man we can all be proud of. The problems we are presently facing started piling up a long time ago and unless we want to deceive ourselves in this country, it should be obvious and crystal clear to everyone that they cannot be solved overnight.
