Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has stirred reactions after a video showing him climbing onto the roof of a vehicle and displaying dance moves while cheering supporters hailed his father surfaced on social media.
In the viral footage, Seyi is seen standing on top of a vehicle, waving to the crowd and dancing enthusiastically as supporters sang and chanted in praise of the President.
The incident occurred in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, during his political mobilisation and youth engagement tour of the state.
The appearance has further fuelled his growing public profile as he continues to participate in political activities and grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Seyi, who is the patron of the City Boy Movement, was in Kebbi as part of the group’s grassroots mobilisation activities aimed at building support for President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The movement’s visit also featured engagements with political leaders, traditional rulers and residents of the state.
On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the President’s son was received by Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, at the Government House before proceeding to the palace of the Emir of Gwandu, Alhaji Muhammadu Iliyasu Bashar.
During the visit, the Emir conferred on him the traditional title of Dan Zaki Gwandu, which translates to Son of the Lion of Gwandu.
The turbaning ceremony took place at the historic Abdullahi Fodiyo Palace in Birnin Kebbi.
According to a statement issued by the Presidency, the Emir described the recognition as the first of its kind in the history of the Gwandu Emirate.
President Tinubu subsequently congratulated his son on the honour, while reminding him that the title comes with responsibilities.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President said the title represents values of courage, leadership and service.
“As a father, I am pleased to see my son recognised by a traditional institution with such a distinguished history.
“But I also remind him that every honour comes with responsibility. The title of Dan Zaki Gwandu carries the values of courage, leadership and service. I urge him to live up to those values, remain humble and continue to dedicate himself to the well-being of others,” the President said.
The City Boy Movement also carried out an empowerment programme during the visit, distributing cash grants to more than 2,000 small-scale traders in Birnin Kebbi.
The delegation’s activities included street engagements with residents, while Seyi also rode a camel during his arrival procession.
The Kebbi visit is part of the movement’s political activities ahead of the 2027 elections, with the group publicly expressing support for President Tinubu’s re-election bid.
LEADERSHIP reports that thisbis not the first time Seyi Tinubu has attracted attention for dancing in support of his father.
