Renowned Nigerian activist and influencer, Japheth Omojuwa has clarified that Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, did not donate N15 million to the family of the late musician, Mohbad.
This clarification came in the wake of reports that Tinubu’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Olusegun Dada, revealed that the President’s son has pledged his support to Mohbad’s kid.
He shared a photo of the transaction receipt, Dada wrote: “The figurative apple that did not fall far from the tree #RIPIMOLE. Thank you ST.”
However, Omojuwa issued a disclaimer through a lengthy post on X, saying, “Just to be clear, the N15m making the rounds that Seyi donated is not true. My position is obvious – if you can comprehend what you read – I was involved with him on this matter from the get go.
“And if you want to know how he is ultimately supporting the kid and the wife, I don’t think that’s my business to say. And frankly speaking, I don’t think it matters. That’s left for those who received what to say.”
Seyi Tinubu didn’t donate N15m to Mohbad’s kid or family. I would know, because I have been discussing with him on the issue for several days.
Bell Schmurda mentioned Seyi in a tweet and I immediately forwarded it to him. The same way I have forwarded tweets around policy…

Please debunk the news of Seyi Tinubu donating N15m to Mohbad’s son Liam, it’s fake.

For those of you stanning Seyi Tinubu already and hailing him for donating N15m to Liam, son of Mohbad: Omojuwa has just informed us that it is all lies. Lori iro.
Like his father, Bola Tinubu, it's only empty promises (like Student Loan) they make. No end results. pic.twitter.com/7P7Hj5ZoIR— Kesandu The Great (@kesandutg) September 21, 2023

This damage control tweet is not necessary! N15m is not such a big deal that Seyi cannot give out even if his father is not the president of Nigeria! There’s no need to build a Political PR cover for a move from a good hearted man! https://t.co/L6LykHHpuk
