As a concerned citizen and Youth Advocate in Ogun State, who works closely with Governor Dapo Abiodun , I am compelled to respond to the recent criticisms surrounding Seyi Tinubu's attendance at a youth summit/empowerment scheme in Ogun State.  The event, organized by the CityBoy Movement, which Seyi Tinubu coordinates, was aimed at empowering young people in the state.  Contrary to the misleading narrative being peddled by some critics, the paramilitary group that mounted a guard of honour for Mr. Seyi Tinubu were not Nigerian Armed Forces personnel, but rather members of the Cadet Network-Nigeria, Ogun State Command, which is affiliated to the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN). This is a disciplined based organization similar to the Boys Scouts and Boys Brigade. It is a very common practice among such groups, to honour personalities and use them as a tool inspire other young people to aim higher. However,  it is unfortunate that some individuals are attempting to...
