No father can have a son like Seyi Tinubu and not be deeply thankful to Almighty God.
Asiwaju @officialABAT, I am genuinely happy for you. There are many achievements a man may record in public life, but among the greatest blessings bestowed upon any father is to see his values reflected in his children. In Seyi, I see a young man who is working hard to justify the confidence reposed in him and to earn his place through effort and commitment.
I recently visited the City Boy Movement office, and Seyi personally took me through the facility. What I encountered was impressive, not because of the building itself, but because of the thinking behind it.
It was a truly pan-Nigerian operation. Young Nigerians from different regions, backgrounds, and faiths were working together toward a common objective. The team was gender-balanced. Diversity and inclusivity were not slogans on a wall; they were visible in practice. Persons living with disabilities had their own space and representation. Every detail suggested careful planning and deliberate leadership.
What struck me most, however, was not the structure but the culture. I watched Seyi interact with his team. I saw him share snacks with members of his back-end staff. There was no air of superiority, no unnecessary distance. Respect flowed naturally. The people around him appeared motivated not merely because they worked with him, but because they felt valued by him.
Leadership is often revealed in moments when cameras are absent and speeches are not being made. Character is found in the little things.
Mr. President, I do not know what special favour from God has produced such a blessing, but I can say without reservation that you have a son worthy of admiration. As for me, I see in Seyi a younger brother whose dedication, energy, and commitment to service make me proud.
ST, keep going. The seeds you are planting today will bear fruit tomorrow. The hours you spend, the sacrifices you make, and the bridges you are building across our national divides will not go unnoticed.
When the votes are counted and the election season has passed, I have little doubt that your efforts would have added significantly to the cause you believe in. More importantly, you would have demonstrated that political engagement can be organised, inclusive, respectful, and purposeful.
May the Almighty reward your labour, strengthen your resolve, and continue to guide your steps.
Every father desires a son who will add value to his legacy. Every nation needs young men and women prepared to work, unite people, and serve with humility. From what I have seen, Seyi Tinubu is striving to be such a man.
Character is what you do when no one is watching. Keep building, ST.
May God bless you. May God bless your family. And may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The Alternative.
PBAT created two new Army Divisions in two Christian-dominated states - Taraba and Benue. The Bishop didn't care about this.
PBAT said he is working on state police to address local challenges. This didn't matter to the Bishop
PBAT said ASUU hasn't gone on strike in almost 4 years, and Students are receiving upkeep stipends. Bishop didn't care.
PBAT said that the economy is turning the corner. The Bishop kept hammering on poverty, the same poverty they complained to GEJ and PMB about. PBAT said he didn't create poverty in Nigeria and that he is putting Nigeria on a sustainable path to prosperity. He didn't say Nigeria has arrived at prosperity.
The Bishop ran immediately to Arise TV to talk about INEC and the president's re-election. If you want to be a politician, join politics. After all Father Illia, the governor of Benue is a Catholic Priest.
πΊπΈπ³π¬ "Nigerian weddings are better than weddings in the United States."
That's according to American entrepreneurs and top TikTok gifters Gregory and Chris T after attending Peller and Jarvis' traditional wedding.
According to them:
β’ "The people were beautiful and so kind."
β’ "Everything was well put together."
β’ "U.S. weddings are more laid-back... they're boring."
β’ "That wedding was lit. We had fun. We vibed. We networked."
They also said they felt safer in Nigeria during their stay and are already in talks with Peller and Jarvis about opening a school and investing in Nigeria's education sector.
Their only regret?
Missing the white wedding because they have to attend a conference in Amsterdam.
Fourteen Nigerians were kidnapped along the Lagos-Benin Expressway, but what happened afterwards is the part I think deserves serious attention.
At about 9:30pm on July 30, troops of 4 Brigade Nigerian Army were on routine patrol when intelligence reached them about the kidnapping in Ovia North East LGA of Edo State. They didn't wait until morning. They immediately moved after the kidnappers and followed their withdrawal route.
The pressure became too much for the criminals. They abandoned 11 of their victims and escaped into the surrounding forest.
But three people were still missing.
And this is the part I love so much. Our soldiers didn't say, "Well, we have rescued 11 out of 14." They didn't close the operation and celebrate what they had already achieved. The following day, July 31, they went back into that forest and continued searching for the remaining victims.
They combed the area until those remaining three people were found and rescued.
Just imagine what those families must have been going through throughout that night. Eleven families had received the news they desperately wanted, while three others were probably still waiting, praying and wondering where their loved ones were. Then came the news that the remaining three had also been found.
After medical assessment and preliminary debriefing, the Army confirmed that all 14 victims were in stable condition. They were reunited with their families or allowed to continue their respective journeys.
This is why timely intelligence from ordinary Nigerians matters so much. Somebody provided information, troops acted on it immediately, kidnappers were forced to run, and 14 Nigerians who could have remained in captivity are free today.
The criminals themselves are still being hunted, and I hope that part of the operation continues until they are apprehended.
Sometimes we read "14 kidnapped victims rescued" and scroll past it like it's just another headline. But those are 14 human beings. Fourteen families spared days, weeks or possibly months of uncertainty and fear.
Kudos to the troops of 4 Brigade Nigerian Army and Brigadier General Ahmed Balogun. Keep the pressure on these criminals. Every Nigerian rescued from captivity is a victory worth celebrating, and every forest denied to kidnappers makes our roads and communities a little safer. π³π¬
