Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, don dey draw public eye for how im influence take show for business, charity and youth politics, even though im no hold any government office. Bola Ahmed Tinubu na Shugaban Nigeria since 2023. History of Nigeria show say some children of past presidents don build their own standing during their parents’ time in power.
Nigeria constitution no give president’s children any special position. But because dem dey close to power, some of them fit get chance to advise or take part in governance matters, and some fit project influence even when dem no get any formal role for government. For Nigeria democracy, president na head of executive branch, while parliament and judiciary get their own work to check how government dey run. Outside that official structure, some people still dey influence politics and society without holding government post. President’s children dey among them, and some become known through business, charity, work with youths, or by entering politics directly.
Seyi Tinubu na known for business, charity and leading youths for political matters. Na im dey lead City Boy Movement, one political group wey dey mobilise and organise young people to support the political agenda of im father. Im influence dey show well well for youth leadership, political work, organising awareness events, and using the connections wey im get to reach stakeholders. Because im na president’s son, people dey pay serious attention to wetin im dey do.
But the important point be say, being president’s son no mean say Seyi hold any government position officially. Still, e start to cause talk early for im father’s administration when people see am inside the hall where president and ministers dey meet. The matter reach where Shugaba Bola Ahmed Tinubu himself warn say make dem stop allowing people wey no qualify to enter the Federal Executive Council meeting.
‘Last week I notice say some people enter this council without authority… I see picture of my son Seyi sitting for back… this na thing we no suppose allow,’ Shugaba Bola Ahmed Tinubu talk.
