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.

In a message addressed to the President, Showunmi expressed deep gratitude for Seyi Tinubu, stating that "no father could have a son like Seyi Tinubu and not be deeply thankful to God." He observed Seyi Tinubu as a young man who "is working hard to justify the confidence reposed in him and to earn his place through effort and commitment."

Showunmi detailed his visit to the City Boy Movement office, describing it as an "impressive" operation. He noted the presence of young Nigerians from diverse backgrounds, regions, and faiths working collaboratively. The team was gender-balanced, and inclusivity was evident in practice, with dedicated spaces for persons with disabilities. "Every detail suggested careful planning and deliberate leadership," Showunmi remarked.

In Seyi, I see a young man who is working hard to justify the confidence reposed in him and to earn his place through effort and commitment.

He was particularly struck by the culture within the organization, observing Seyi Tinubu 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," Showunmi said, adding that the team appeared motivated because they felt valued.

It was a truly pan-Nigerian operation. 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. Every detail suggested careful planning and deliberate leadership.

Showunmi concluded by encouraging Seyi Tinubu to continue his work, stating, "The seeds you are planting today will bear fruit tomorrow." He expressed confidence that Seyi's efforts would contribute meaningfully to his cause and demonstrate that political engagement can be organized, inclusive, respectful, and purposeful. "From what I have seen, Seyi Tinubu is striving to be such a man," Showunmi added.
