President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated his son, Mr Seyi Tinubu, on his turbaning as Dan Zaki Gwandu by His Royal Highness, Alhaji Muhammadu Iliyasu Bashar, the Emir of Gwandu, in Kebbi State.
A statement by Bayo Onanuga,

President Tinubu thanked the Emir and the Gwandu Emirate Council for the honour, which the traditional ruler described as the first of its kind in the Emirate’s history.
The President noted that the honour carries a responsibility that extends beyond personal recognition and reflects the enduring bonds of friendship, mutual respect and unity among Nigeria’s diverse peoples.
He acknowledged Seyi’s efforts in youth engagement, community development and empowerment, particularly through his involvement with the City Boy Movement and other initiatives supporting young Nigerians.
