Tinubu tells Seyi to do more, says ‘he’s running after his father’
President Bola Tinubu has praised his son, Seyi, for his work with the City Boy Movement, urging him to do more, serve harder and set an example. Read More:…
Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has in recent years built a public profile through youth-focused initiatives such as the City Boy Movement, which positions him as an advocate for youth empowerment and engagement. His growing visibility has repeatedly fuelled speculation about a possible political career, with questions trailing him over whether he intends to contest elective office in 2027, even as neither he nor his father had previously confirmed specific ambitions.
President Tinubu's remarks mark a rare public comment from him on his son's political future, touching on both Seyi's civic work and the chatter around which office he may be eyeing. The coverage converges on the president's "running after his father" remark, but differs in focus: Punch centres on Tinubu's praise of Seyi's youth advocacy work, while Leadership foregrounds the disclosure about inquiries into Seyi's 2027 ambitions. Neither report specifies which office Seyi is reportedly considering, leaving the exact nature of his political plans unconfirmed.
