President Bola Tinubu has publicly addressed his son, Seyi, for his participation in the regular Federal Executive Council (FEC) meetings.
Before the start of the Monday FEC session at the Presidential Villa, President Tinubu expressed his observation regarding individuals discreetly entering and leaving the council chamber.
The President firmly cautioned that only individuals with official invitations should be allowed entry into the meeting.
“Last week I noticed the undue access of people sneaking in and out of this council, including… I saw the photograph of my son, Seyi, sitting behind… That is not acceptable,” Tinubu said.
“I will announce to you those people who are supposed to be here.
“Hadiza Usman, special adviser on policy coordination; Bayo Onanuga, special adviser on information and strategy; Hakeem Muri-Okunola, principal private secretary; and Damilotun Aderemi, private secretary.
“These are the people who are granted the exception to be here when we are conducting the business of the nation. Unless I send for you, don’t come.”
Tinubu asked the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) George Akume, and head of service of the federation Folashade Yemi-Esan to ensure that the directive is complied with.
Seyi was also present at the Supreme Court last week to hear its judgement on the appeals filed by former presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.
