Nigerians have started reacting to the claim that the governor of Sokoto State, Ahmad Aliyu, has named a road after President Bola Tinubu's son, Seyi.

Abdul-Aziz Na'ibi Abubakar, an enthusiast of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), shared pictures of the road and name, adding that "Sokoto state governor is a big clown."

Some Nigerians have taken to the picture's comment section and expressed mixed reactions about the development.

Below are some of their reactions:

@CapsAndClassics: "I don’t know if you know that the president's son has a huge capacity and influence in this government. Don’t blame the governor; we get why."

Aly Bunxa: "Most important is the road project for the development of the state; the name is unnecessary, and it can be changed."

@HON_MATAZU: "State what the kind of Governor Sokoto state has? What did Seyi contribute to Sokoto that deserves such honour? This hypocrisy will continue degrading the image of Northern politicians. Allah Ya sauwake."

Epfu-eme wrote: "if you can’t go through the father, you go through the son. My concern is how much would have been spent to mount the board."

Another Nigerian tweeted: "Bro, if na me, I go do same thing, even pass. It seems you're not in tune on what Naija politics is all about. Critical times require hard critical measures."
