Femi Adesina, the presidential aide, has explained why
President Muhammadu Buhari took his son Yusuf, along on the official
trip to USA.
Adesina said that Buhari did nothing wrong by taking his son with him.
He said: ”There is absolutely nothing wrong with the president travelling with one of his sons. It is an acceptable and standard practice. He could go with up to four members of his family. Don’t forget that when former President Bill Clinton visited Nigeria while he was in office, he came with his daughter, Chelsea.
”President Barak Obama travels with his children and so the President of Nigeria can travel out with three or four of his children. Late President Umaru Yar’Adua used to travel with two of his sons and one of his grandchildren.”
Yusuf Buhari was part of the president’s 33-men delegation to Washington DC.

I see nothing wrong with Buhari traveling with his son. Obama does it most times.
