Tinubu: I Got Some Calls Asking Me What Seyi My Son Is Running For, He’s Running After His Father

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made a notable statement about his son, Seyi Tinubu, while speaking about the activities of the City Boys Movement and questions he has received concerning his son’s political ambitions.

In a video shared on YouTube by TVC on Monday, October 19, 2026, the President was heard addressing a gathering and reflecting on the activities associated with the City Boys Movement, which has attracted attention in political discussions surrounding his administration and supporters.

During his remarks, Tinubu disclosed that he had received several calls in recent weeks from people seeking clarification about what his son, Seyi, was pursuing politically.

The President said the questions centred on whether his son was preparing to contest for a political position, prompting him to offer a response that appeared to suggest Seyi was following his father’s path.

In his words, “I have watched what you started with City Boy, I got some calls within the last few weeks asking me what Seyi, my son, is running for, and I say he’s running after his father.”

The statement has drawn attention to the relationship between the President and his son, particularly amid public interest in Seyi Tinubu’s activities and his association with the City Boys Movement.

Tinubu’s response appeared to address the speculation surrounding his son’s intentions without explicitly identifying any particular political office he might be seeking.

By saying that Seyi was “running after his father,” the President used a phrase that could be interpreted as a reference to his son’s admiration for him, his desire to follow his example, or his involvement in activities associated with his father’s political journey.

However, the statement did not amount to a formal announcement that Seyi Tinubu intended to contest an election. The President also acknowledged that he had been observing the activities initiated through the City Boys Movement.

His comments suggested that he was familiar with the group’s development and the attention it had attracted, including questions from people seeking to understand its connection to his son.
