President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed pride and joy following the conferment of the traditional title of Dan Zaki Gwandu on his son, Seyi Tinubu.
The President disclosed this in a heartfelt message shared on his social media handle, describing the honour as a proud moment for him as a father.
Tinubu said there were few joys greater for a father than watching his son grow, discover his own path and earn the respect of others.
He congratulated Seyi on the recognition, particularly commending his commitment to young Nigerians and his efforts to make a positive difference in their lives.
The President, however, reminded his son that traditional honours come with responsibilities, urging him to wear the title with humility and maintain his commitment to serving others.
“My son, remember that every honour comes with responsibility. Wear this title with humility, and never lose your heart for service,” Tinubu wrote.
The President also expressed gratitude to the Emir of Gwandu and the Gwandu Emirate Council for recognising his son with the traditional title.
He prayed for divine guidance and wisdom for Seyi, adding that his son’s achievements continue to make him proud.
The conferment adds a traditional recognition to Seyi Tinubu’s public profile, particularly in relation to his activities and engagements with young Nigerians.
The title, which was conferred by the Gwandu Emirate Council in Kebbi State, has continued to attract congratulatory messages from political associates, youth groups, traditional leaders and well-wishers across the country, many of whom described it as a well-deserved honour.
