DHQ disowns cadets who accorded full military honours to Seyi, President Tinubu’s son

Defence Headquarters on Sunday denied knowledge of any Guards Parade held by military personnel for Seyi Tinubu, the first son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Director of Defence Information (DDI), Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, stated that the personnel captured in a viral video are unknown to the Nigerian military.
In the video, Seyi Tinubu was seen being accorded a full Presidential honour including inspecting a Guards Parade, with personnel dressed in military uniforms.
General Gusau, who was shown a screenshot from the video, said: “They are not our personnel. We don’t dress that way. We don’t have this type of badge of rank. We don’t know them.”
Reacting, former Vice President and 2023 Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, called for an investigation into the military parade involving Seyi Tinubu.
In a statement issued by his Media Office on Sunday, Atiku expressed his dismay, describing the event as an “anomaly” and a “serious breach of military tradition.”
The former Vice President stressed that preserving the integrity of the Nigerian Armed Forces is paramount.
“If it is determined that any legal violations were committed by the President’s son or members of the so-called ‘Nigeria Cadet Network,’ it is the constitutional duty of Nigerian security agencies to ensure that the law takes its course and those responsible are held accountable,” he stressed.
