The influence that Seyi Tinubu wields in the government of his father, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been severely spoken about in hush tones.
There are people in Abuja who would swear on their mother’s grave that the younger Tinubu is more powerful than the Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
So influential is the first son of Nigeria that any door he knocks on in Nigeria, automatically opens.
But of course, this is in Nigeria. The Chairman /Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Loatsad Promomedia and Co-Founder of Noelle Foundation was made to appreciate his lack of international influence recently when he accompanied his father to the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV, on Sunday, May 18.

Dressed in a black suit like his father, the dark-complexioned advertising buff was cut to size by the Pope’s security team as he made to break protocol by approaching his father who was exchanging pleasantries with the Pontiff.
In a video making the rounds online, the father of two was seen walking in his father’s direction as he attempted to catch up with the president but was cut off by a plain cloth security official who redirected him.
