Vatican Security Blocks Seyi Tinubu From Approaching Pope Leo by FuglyGurl(op): 11:10am On May 19, 2025

President Bola Tinubu’s first son, Seyi, was in his entourage to the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV, on Sunday.

Daily Trust had reported different highlights of the event, including the president’s encounter with Peter Obi, one of his major rivals in the 2023 elections.

Obi, who came third in the election, defeated Tinubu in Lagos, the president’s stronghold since democracy returned to Nigeria in 1999.

However, one highlight of the trip to Vatican City was the encounter that Tinubu’s son, who wields a major influence back home, had with the Pope’s security team.

In a video making rounds online, Seyi was seen walking towards his father’s direction when a plain cloth security official redirected him calmly.

Nigeria’s number one citizen was exchanging pleasantries with the Pontiff when the incident happened.

Dressed in a black suit like his father, Seyi attempted to catch up with the president, but the official blocked him.

However, hours later, another video of Seyi dinning with some key officials of the Roman Catholic Church.

What is Seyi Tinubu doing there and in what capacity is the son in such a diplomatic function? Why all these jamborees being wasted @ the expense of the state?
Re: Vatican Security Blocks Seyi Tinubu From Approaching Pope Leo by malali:
Seyi Tinubu’s recent escapades amount to a grotesque parody of power—a civilian prince without a crown, meddling in matters far above his station. Let it be clear: he holds no constitutional office, no electoral mandate, and no moral license to parade through state functions like Nigeria is some inherited fiefdom.

His repeated breaches of protocol, flamboyant insertions into state affairs, and unchecked gall are not only insulting to the dignity of the Nigerian presidency—they are corrosive to democratic optics at home and abroad.

This is a republic, not a royal dynasty. Nigeria does not recognize heirs to the presidential throne.

If he wishes to serve, let him run for office like every other Nigerian citizen, not gallop through the corridors of power on the coattails of nepotism. His father, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, must rein him in—not tomorrow, but now—before these childish indulgences metastasize into a national embarrassment.

Nigeria deserves leadership, not lineage. Let that be understood—loudly, clearly, and constitutionally.

Trump just finished an official tour of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE....Not one picture or video had any of his Sons in it.
