The presence of President Tinubu’s Son, Seyi at the swearing-in ceremony of the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun which took place at the State House in Abuja on Friday has caused a stir on social media.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun took the oath of office as the 23rd CJN, after succeeding justice Olukayode Ariwoola, who bowed out on Thursday after clocking the retirement age of 70 years.
Despite this historic occasion, Nigerians, however, were more focused on Seyi Tinubu’s presence at the event which is mostly reserved and graced by cabinet members.
Raising eyebrows at the situation, displeased Nigerians accused the Tinubu led- administration of running a ‘family and friends’ government.
Others agrued that such a significant occasion should not be graced by the president’s family as such moment should only be witnessed by top governmental officials.
A user who tweets with #Beta Countri said, “Please, I want to ask Nigerians, what exactly is the portfolio of Seyi Tinubu in this government that he is allowed in the front at the swearing-in ceremony of Justice Kekere-Ekun as the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria?”
On X.com, #Ayemojubar who tweets anonymously said, “What is Seyi Tinubu doing at the swearing-in ceremony of Justice Kekere-Ekun as the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria?”

He accused him of having “undue access” to the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
