Would You Respect Tinubu’s Son-in-Law as Our Culture Demands?

I often wonder how politics can cloud our judgment and lead us to forget our core values. The recent reception of Seyi Tinubu in Imo State sparked heated reactions. In Igbo culture, marrying into a family means joining its fold. Respect for in-laws is more than tradition—it is part of our identity. We must ask ourselves: If our own father were the president, would we deny him the courtesy of visiting our wife’s people? Many criticized Obi Cubana and others for hosting Seyi Tinubu. Yet loyalty and personal ties often shape such decisions. Politics is ever-changing. Alliances shift, but cultural respect should never waver. Institutions like Ohanaeze Ndigbo must remind our youth that political passion should not humiliate a visitor or a family member. Our character shines in how we treat those connected to us by blood or marriage.
