Abuja, FCT - A coalition of Nigerians known as The Natives has lauded President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, for "stabilising influence" in his father's administration as he marks his 40th birthday.

In a statement issued on Monday, October 13, in Abuja, the group’s Supreme Leader, Hon. Olalekan Smart Edwards, said Nigeria’s governance landscape might have faced greater disorder “but for the presence and role of Seyi Tinubu.”

“Seyi Tinubu deserves appreciation, especially from every young man or woman serving in the current administration. He represents the missing voice of youth and inclusion that previous governments lacked," he said.

Edwards called Seyi Tinubu “the Knight with the Golden Armour,” adding that his grace, empathy, and accessibility have made him a unifying figure among Nigerian youths.
