Segun Showunmi has praised Seyi Tinubu for his leadership approach and commitment to inclusive politics after visiting the City Boy Movement office. In a message shared on X and addressed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,

Showunmi said no father could have a son like Seyi Tinubu and not be deeply thankful to God. “There are many achievements a man may record in public life, but among the greatest blessings bestowed upon any father is to see his values reflected in his children,” Showunmi wrote.

“It was truly pan-Nigerian. Young Nigerians from different regions, backgrounds, and faiths were working together toward a common objective. The team was gender-balanced. Diversity and inclusivity were not slogans on a wall; they were visible in practice. Persons living with disabilities had their own space and representation.”

A former Nigerian politician, Segun Showunmi served as the Chairman of the People's Democratic Party in the state of Osun. Showunmi was also a former Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Lagos State, and later served as an Adviser to former Governor Bisi Akande.

The City Boy Movement is a youth-led organisation focused on empowering young Nigerians to take ownership of their political and social lives. The movement aims to promote civic engagement, leadership development, and inclusive governance across Nigeria.

Seyi Tinubu has been actively engaging with young Nigerians and promoting the values of his father's administration, including transparency, accountability, and good governance. His leadership approach has been praised by many Nigerians, including Segun Showunmi.

“I watched Seyi interact with his team. I saw him share snacks with members of his back-end staff. There was no air of superiority, no unnecessary distance. Respect flowed naturally. The people around him appeared motivated not merely because they worked with him, but because they felt valued by him,”

Showunmi encouraged Seyi Tinubu to continue his work, saying: “ST, keep going. The seeds you are planting today will bear fruit tomorrow. The hours you spend, the sacrifices you make, and the bridges you are building across our national divides will not go unnoticed.”

A Nigerian politician with many years of experience, Segun Showunmi has been a fierce advocate for good governance and transparency. His praise for Seyi Tinubu comes at a time when Nigeria is facing many challenges, including rising insecurity, economic stagnation, and social unrest.

The visit to the City Boy Movement office and the praise from Segun Showunmi are a testament to Seyi Tinubu's commitment to inclusive politics and good governance. His leadership approach has been widely praised, and many Nigerians are looking up to him as a role model for future leaders.

Segun Showunmi concluded that every father desires a son who will add value to his legacy, and every nation needs young people prepared to work, unite others and serve with humility. “From what I have seen, Seyi Tinubu is striving to be such a man,” he said.

“Character is what you do when no one is watching. Keep building, ST,” Showunmi said. “May God bless you. May God bless your family. And may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
