Editor’s note: Mohammed Abdullahi in this piece painted a picture of Seyi Tinubu, the son of Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a young man whose role in his father’s presidential bid singles him out from the packs of silver spoon kids.
I wouldn’t say I like praise-singing or flattery because I believe they are traits and habits of sycophants. But every writer is also, by nature, a reporter; we always love to document our good or bad experiences. Hence, this piece is about my encounter with Seyi Tinubu, son of president-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is about what stood out for me and my general impression of the young, successful businessman.
