Journalist and a former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Reuben Abati, has slammed sons of President Bola Tinubu, Seyi and Yinka, for hanging around the presidential villa like \u2018\u2019jobless invalids.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Mr Abati expressed his dissatisfaction on Wednesday, during Arise TVs \u2018The Morning Show\u2019 which he co-anchors with fellow journalists Oseni Rufai and two others.<\/p>\n
Wondering what the president\u2019s children do for a living, Mr Abati admonished them to do something concrete with their lives at their age and stop being dependent on their father because he occupies the nation\u2019s number one seat.<\/p>\n
He also said he felt sorry for their wives who would be feeling embarrassed that their husbands were just hanging around, unable to stand on their own two feet as men.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cMay we begin to ask, what do the president\u2019s children do for a living? I don\u2019t know specifically how old they are but looking at them, by the time I was their age, I was doing something concrete with my life. I got a PhD at 24. I wasn\u2019t depending on any father.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople must get to a stage in their lives when they will hold themselves together, I don\u2019t want adults behaving like invalids hanging around just because your father is in a position. All these children of privilege sometimes overdo it, and these are boys that would probably have wives at home. Some of these girls, what they go through is very embarrassing. You can\u2019t have a husband that\u2019s just hanging around, that cannot stand on his two feet as men.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Mr Abati\u2019s statement comes after the President\u2019s sons along with other dignitaries recently followed the President on an official trip to Qatar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
