President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed pride following the conferment of the traditional title of Dan Zaki Gwandu, meaning “Son of the Lion,” on his son, Seyi Tinubu, by the Gwandu Emirate.
The President disclosed this in a congratulatory message shared on his official social media platform, describing the recognition as a special moment for his family.
Tinubu said he was delighted to see his son grow, establish his own path and earn the respect of others through his activities and contributions to society.
He particularly commended Seyi for his commitment to young Nigerians and his efforts to make a positive difference in their lives.
The President, however, reminded his son that every honour comes with responsibility, urging him to wear the traditional title with humility and maintain his commitment to serving others.
Tinubu also expressed appreciation to His Royal Highness, the Emir of Gwandu, and the Gwandu Emirate Council for recognising his son with the prestigious traditional honour.
He prayed for continued divine guidance and wisdom for Seyi as he assumes the responsibilities associated with the title.
The President concluded his message by congratulating his son, describing the recognition as another reason for him to be proud of the man he has become.
