Some leaders take their children on State visits to educate them — Presidential aide, O’tega, defends President Tinubu over sons’ inclusion in delegation to Qatar amidst calls for FG to cut cost of governance.

O’tega Ogra, the Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Digital/New Media, has defended the President’s inclusion of his sons, Seyi and Yinka, among the delegation going with him to Qatar for a business and investment meeting.

Ogra in a post on X said that some leaders of the world take their children on state visits to educate them about world affairs and different cultures, and to maintain a semblance of family life, despite the demands of public office.

It is reported that President Tinubu’s sons – Seyi and Yinka – were among the delegation to travel with the President on a state visit to Doha, Qatar.

Tinubu will visit Qatar on a state visit scheduled for March 2 and 3, 2024 but will be accompanied by 38 others including his sons. The delegation was split into two batches.
