Seyi Tinubu has been warned to steer clear from the council chamber during the weekly meetings of the Federal Executive Council. 

 

The warming was delivered by his father, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who observed that he saw unauthorized persons, including his son, Seyi, at the council chamber last week during the Federal Executive Meeting. The president then warned against allowing unauthorized persons to have access to the chamber except those he personally requested to be present. 

Since his father’s inauguration as President, Seyi has become the most influential young Nigerian. He moves around with a phalanx of security operatives and flies the presidential fleet for private engagements, include traveling to watch Polo. 

Seyi  has become immensely powerful in the new administration and is believed to have influence on appointments and policies in the government.
