President Bola Tinubu's son, Seyi, accompanied him to the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV on Sunday. The event, as reported by Daily Trust, included a meeting between President Tinubu and Peter Obi, a significant opponent in the 2023 elections. Obi, who finished third in the election, had previously defeated Tinubu in Lagos, a region considered Tinubu's stronghold since 1999.

A notable moment during the Vatican City trip involved Seyi Tinubu's interaction with the Pope's security detail. A video circulating online shows Seyi approaching his father while the president was greeting the Pope. A plain-clothed security official calmly redirected Seyi, preventing him from joining his father. Both the President and his son were dressed in black suits during the event.

The incident, captured in a video, highlights the security protocols in place during the inauguration. The video can be found at: https://dailytrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/vid-20250519-wa0023.mp4
