The Community Auxiliary Development for Effective Transformation Network, popularly known as CADETN, on Monday, said holding a guard of honour was part of the organisation’s standard protocol to welcomeme dignitaries to its events.
viral video of the President’s son, Seyi Tinubu, inspecting a Guard of Honour has drawn criticism from some sections of the public.
On Sunday, former Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, called for an investigation into the reported military honours given to the President’s son.
He described the gesture as an “anomaly” and a “serious breach of military tradition.”
Reacting in a statement by the Corps Commander, CADETN, Josh Fatoye explained that the gesture was not exclusive to the son of the President, Seyi Tinubu.
Fatoye stated that the guard of honour, which took place at the CityBoy Youth Empowerment Program in Ogun State, was also extended to other dignitaries at the event.
He said the dignitaries included the Personal Assistant to the President on Special Duties, the Minister of Youth Development, the Minister of Digital Economy, and the Senior Special Assistants to the President on Citizenship & Leadership, as well as Digital Communications and New Media.
