Nigerians have expressed dissatisfaction over the presence of Seyi Tinubu, President Bola Tinubu’s first son, at the swearing-in ceremony of acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.
Kekere-Ekun took the oath of office and signed the oath register at 11:40 am on Friday at the Council Chamber of the State House, Abuja, as the 23rd CJN, pending her confirmation by the Senate.
A picture of Seyi Tinubu at the event went viral on Monday, sparking questions about his presence.
On X (formerly Twitter), #BetaCountri asked, “Please, I want to ask Nigerians, what exactly is the portfolio of Seyi Tinubu in this government that he is allowed in the front at the swearing-in ceremony of Justice Kekere-Ekun as the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria?”
#Ayemojubar tweeted, “What is Seyi Tinubu doing at the swearing-in ceremony of Justice Kekere-Ekun as the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria?”
#Hybikay07 responded, “He is learning the Process…Once him papa comot… He will enter… greatest Political Family Heritage.. Una never sees anything.”
Other users shared their opinions, with Maysbabs saying, “A decision maker has to be where decisions will be taken, the truth in whatever Seyi says surpasses others’ opinions at this point… rooting for his father.”
#ToppyAFC joked, “He is doing an internship on how to become the future president. If my dad was president, I will do the same too.”
#CheryldeBlaq said, “Learning the ropes so he knows how it’s done when his dad hands over to him!” However, not everyone saw his presence as wrong. The Philosopher on Facebook wrote.
“If your father was President, I’m very sure u will be sitting at that same position or infront sef. Hypocrites everywhere.”
#Adelion on Instagram said, “Nigerians and the way they reason. If you intend to go far in your chosen career, you learn how it is done. These are classes someone at his level should take to understand how it is done. Nothing new.” Igonor Mathias on (link unavailable) added.
“If my Father happens to be Thê President of Nigeria. My best advice to him is to make any of my brothers or Me his Personal Assistant. So Seyi Tinubu, always being around us, father, is no offence or crime.”
#Linzkits_FC retorted: “I feel you all should see seyi Tinubu beyond that picture… Since Pablo is the father then you should think of family affairs. Una dey ment when you all are shouting jagaban now you see his son you are complaining. Stupid people.”
#Ab__itu joked, saying: “Seyi Tinubu is now a judge of the Supreme Court, attends presidential cabinet meetings, attends Joint Chief of Staff meeting with the president.
“May God don’t give us jobless sons.”
