President Bola Tinubu has expressed immense joy over his son, Seyi, who has just been honoured with the traditional title of Dan Zaki Gwandu—‘the Son of the Lion’ of Gwandu.
Seyi Tinubu received the prestigious title, bestowed on him by Alhaji Muhammadu Iliyasu Bashar, the Emir of Gwandu, on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
The turbaning ceremony took place at the historic Abdullahi Fodiyo Palace in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State.
In his remarks following the conferment of the traditional title, President Tinubu reminded his son that every honour comes with responsibility and admonished him to wear the title with humility.
He said: “There are few joys greater for a father than watching his son grow, find his own path, and earn the respect of others.
“My heart is filled with pride as my son, Seyi Tinubu, has been honoured with the traditional title of Dan Zaki Gwandu, ‘the Son of the Lion’ of Gwandu.”
The President prayed that the Almighty continues to guide his steps and grant him all the wisdom he needs.
