Seyi Tinubu – whose first son

There is something I can’t just explain anytime I see this young man

Seeing him walking infront of the President of Nigeria, clearing the way for him, trying to shake the Pope after him and also standing in line to greet the Qatari Royal family, goose pimples will just be going thru my body as pride envelopes me- what a handsome young and brilliant man.

The whole thing gives me goose pimples as his exhuberance continues to break all protocols and blurs the lines between family ties and the Presidency

Mbok all the Presidents and Heads of Government in this world have Sons fully qualified and equally as bearded but never jump in front of protocol as this simply beacuse they are not as gifted

No matter the trip or event from a United Nations appearance, to a personal trip to France thru a State Dinner in the UK and passing down to Kenya and Rwanda our son is not only on the entourage but is visibly directing things and being a strong part of the delegation and we thank God for him.

It is very clear that he has overall competence in all areas of governance and this is why he is a critical part of every delegation the President is involved

From international economy thru diplomacy, sports, health, agric and all he is in pole position to be part of it all

It is beginning to look like he was a major factor in Nigerians choise of his father as President

All that Emilokan war cry would not have given them victory without Seyis political sagacity.

This is why he has to hold the Presidents hand as he walks, clearing the way or casually just strolling into a hall even after the President sits

The other day, i was speaking with a top official of the Protocol officer and asked – what was your member doing when Seyi tried to shake the Pope?

He just looked at me and kept mute. What I didn’t knw was that, the Vatican had refused to grant the visit until our Son stepped in working with the Roman Branch of the City boy movement and pronto the visit was approved and for that, I apologise.

The Ghanaian first son, I hear has reached out for training, same as the South Africab one and soon lur own sons influence does not have a son or the South African president that we are not seeing them everywhere?

Even Donald Trump with a huge family dont seem to understand how this First Son thing works.

They shoulf all come to my Masterclass on the role of The First Son in political cohesion.

Now we have City Boys who is now running parallel with APC structures and better positioned to deliver the votes with their strong moniker – money na water

My keen advice to Mr President if he emerges for a second term is to look for a very visible appointment for his very emergetic and overtly passionate son.

I would recommend Chief of Staff so that we all sha know and calm down or Minister of Youth and Sports since he has shown huge talent in mobilisation and youth engagement

Better still since he loves foreign affairs, lets kuku just make him Minister of Foreign Affairs or Permanent representative to the United Nations so he can go with Obi Cubana and Chief Priest as principal aide

Whatever it is, Nigeria must be able to tap into his huge energy and harness it for our betterment.

We truly need him at this time of our National development. Kai

Come and beat me, I don tire
