A Nigerian Journalist based abroad has called out Seyi Tinubu for using the presidential jet for traveling to Kano to watch Polo.
Nigerian journalist based abroad has called out president Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu for using the presidential jet for an nonofficial purpose after he travelled to Kano to watch Polo.
The journalist identified as as Jaafar Jaafar dragged Seyi in a lengthy post in his X (Twitter) account.
Jaafar shared a photo of Seyi Tinubu flanked by heavily armed security personnel at an airport while noting that he travelled to Kano just to watch a sport.
According to him, this is not new as the trend was set by ex president Buhari who allowed his daughter Hanan to travel to Bauchi for a photo tour with the presidential jet
He wrote …
“Here’s Tinubu’s golden child, Seyi, traveling in a presidential jet to watch polo in Kano. But this trend did not start today. Buhari set the bad example when he allowed his daughter Hanan to travel in a presidential jet for a photo tour in Bauchi. Even if our laws are vague on this, one thing is clear. This is an offence to the moral code of leadership.”
Reaction that followed …
@HGBashar said: “Buhari merely sought the title of ‘President’ without understanding or respecting the sanctity of the office. The audacity to let his daughter, Hanan, use a presidential jet for a mere photo tour in Bauchi was the beginning of this mockery. Now we see Tinubu’s protege, Seyi, hopping on the same jet for a polo match in Kano. It’s not just about the laws, it’s about ethics, morals, and respect for the position. Our leaders must do more than just occupy an office; they must uphold its dignity.”
@TheQueenAminat noted: “This bitterness never ends.”
@belloinuwa wrote: “What about the misuse of a special forces unit as his body guards? See them in the pictures. The other day he went skate boarding in Abuja with them running by his side. This is just a continuation of the culture of impunity from the previous government, perhaps on an even grander scale this time.”
