Nigerians have begun to express their dissatisfaction over Seyi Tinubu, President Bola Tinubu’s first son’s presence at the State House swearing-in ceremony of the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.
Kekere-Ekun took the oath of office and signed the oath register at 11.40 am at the Council Chamber of the State House, Abuja on Friday as the 23rd CJN, pending her confirmation by the Senate.
She succeeded Olukayode Ariwoola, who assumed office on June 27, 2022, and bowed out on Thursday upon attaining the mandatory retirement age of 70 years.
However, a picture of the president’s son at the event went viral on Monday, with netizens questioning what he was doing in a place where only cabinet members and top government functionaries were supposed to be.
A user who tweets with #Beta Countri said, “Please, I want to ask Nigerians, what exactly is the portfolio of Seyi Tinubu in this government that he is allowed in the front at the swearing-in ceremony of Justice Kekere-Ekun as the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria?”
On X.com, #Ayemojubar who tweets anonymously said, “What is Seyi Tinubu doing at the swearing-in ceremony of Justice Kekere-Ekun as the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria?”
“He is learning the Process…Once him papa comot… He will enter… greatest Political Family Heritage.. Una never sees anything,” one IbukunOluwa, who tweets with the handle #Hybikay07 wrote.
