President Bola Tinubu congratulated his son, Seyi Tinubu, after the younger Tinubu was turbaned as Dan Zaki Gwandu by the Emir of Gwandu in Kebbi State.
The traditional ceremony took place in Gwandu, the historic seat of the emirate in north‑western Nigeria, where the Emir presided over the conferral of the chieftaincy title.
Dan Zaki Gwandu is a recognized title within the hierarchy of the Gwandu emirate, reflecting the holder’s status and responsibilities in the local traditional system.
President Tinubu publicly hailed his son’s achievement, expressing pride in Seyi’s new role and the recognition bestowed by the emirate.
Traditional titles such as Dan Zaki Gwandu continue to play a notable role in Nigeria’s social and political landscape, often linking contemporary leaders with longstanding cultural institutions.
