The news of President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi, flying a presidential jet to attend polo games in Kano State has sparked mixed reactions on X (formerly Twitter).
Punch gathered that the discussion started when a journalist, on Monday, criticised Seyi’s use of a presidential jet for non-official purposes, citing a similar instance when President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughter, Hanan, travelled in a presidential jet for a photo tour.
Reacting to the post, an X user HGBashar questioned the decision of former president Buhari to permit his daughter to use an official presidential jet for a mere photo tour in Bauchi, describing the act as the beginning of mockery.
He further added that the attitude displayed by the presidents questioned the ethics, morals, and respect for the position, charging the federal government to uphold the dignity of the office they occupy. His exact words:
“Buhari merely sought the title of ‘President’ without understanding or respecting the sanctity of the office. The audacity to let his daughter, Hanan, use a presidential jet for a mere photo tour in Bauchi was the beginning of this mockery.
“Now we see Tinubu’s protege, Seyi, hopping on the same jet for a polo match in Kano. It’s not just about the laws, it’s about ethics, morals, and respect for the position. Our leaders must do more than just occupy an office; they must uphold its dignity.”
