Nigerians have voiced their concerns over the presence of Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, at the swearing-in ceremony of the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.
The ceremony took place at the State House in Abuja on Friday, where Kekere-Ekun was sworn in as the 23rd CJN, pending Senate confirmation, following the retirement of her predecessor, Olukayode Ariwoola.
A photograph of Seyi Tinubu at the event circulated online, leading to widespread debate about his role at a ceremony typically reserved for cabinet members and top government officials.
Many questioned his presence, with some suggesting he is being groomed for a future political role, while others defended his attendance as a natural privilege of being the president’s son.
One user on social media questioned Seyi’s official role in the government, while another speculated that he might be learning the ropes for a future in politics.
Some users justified his presence, arguing that if they were in his position, they would likely do the same to support and learn from their father.
The discussion highlighted a divide in public opinion, with some criticizing the perceived nepotism, while others saw it as a natural outcome of being part of a political family.
