In response to public backlash, O'Tega Ogra, the Senior Special Assistant on Digital/New Media to President Tinubu, has defended the decision to include Seyi and Yinka Tinubu, sons of President Tinubu, in the presidential delegation to Qatar.
Addressing the controversy surrounding their inclusion, Ogra argued that it is a common practice for children of world leaders to accompany their parents on foreign trips.
Drawing parallels with leaders like the Obamas and Clintons, Ogra highlighted the educational, familial, and security considerations that often guide such decisions. He emphasized the positive impact on public image and diplomatic relations by showcasing a more relatable, family-oriented side of leaders during official engagements.
