Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has stirred reactions after a video showing him climbing onto the roof of a vehicle and displaying dance moves while cheering supporters hailed his father surfaced on social media.
In the viral footage, Seyi is seen standing on top of a vehicle, waving to the crowd and dancing enthusiastically as supporters sang and chanted in praise of the President.
The incident occurred in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, during his political mobilisation and youth engagement tour of the state.
The appearance has further fuelled his growing public profile as he continues to participate in political activities and grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Seyi, who is the patron of the City Boy Movement, was in Kebbi as part of the group’s grassroots mobilisation activities aimed at building support for President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The movement’s visit also featured engagements with political leaders, traditional rulers and residents of the state.
On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the President’s son was received by Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, at the Government House before proceeding to the palace of the Emir of Gwandu, Alhaji Muhammadu Iliyasu Bashar.
During the visit, the Emir conferred on him the traditional title of Dan Zaki Gwandu, which translates to Son of the Lion of Gwandu.
The turbaning ceremony took place at the historic Abdullahi Fodiyo Palace in Birnin Kebbi.
According to a statement issued by the Presidency, the Emir described the recognition as the first of its kind in the history of the Gwandu Emirate.

President Tinubu subsequently congratulated his son on the honour, while reminding him that the title comes with responsibilities.

The City Boy Movement also carried out an empowerment programme during the visit, distributing cash grants to more than 2,000 small-scale traders in Birnin Kebbi.
The delegation’s activities included street engagements with residents, while Seyi also rode a camel during his arrival procession.
The Kebbi visit is part of the movement’s political activities ahead of the 2027 elections, with the group publicly expressing support for President Tinubu’s re-election bid.
In September 2026, he was captured displaying energetic dance moves at the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos while welcoming President Tinubu back to Nigeria from his European working vacation.
The President had returned on Tuesday, September 29, after spending time in London and Paris.
In the viral footage, Seyi was seen dancing enthusiastically before joining a dance troupe during the reception.
