Seyi Tinubu under fire for flying presidential jet to Kano for polo tournament

President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi, is facing a barrage of criticism for flying a presidential jet to watch a polo tournament in Kano State.

The publisher of Daily Nigerian, Jaafar Jaafar, had revealed in a Monday post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Seyi used an aircraft in the presidential fleet for non-official purposes.

According to the journalist, former President Muhammadu Buhari started the “bad example” by allowing his daughter, Hanan, to fly a presidential jet to an event in Bauchi.

“Here’s Tinubu’s golden child, Seyi, travelling in a presidential jet to watch polo in Kano. But this trend did not start today. Buhari set the bad example when he allowed his daughter, Hanan, to travel in a presidential jet for a photo tour in Bauchi. Even if our laws are vague on this, one thing is clear. This is an offence to the moral code of leadership,” Jaafar wrote while sharing some photos of presidential aircraft used by Seyi Tinubu and Hanan Buhari.

The post elicited reactions from many Nigerians.
