On Monday, September 29, 2025, the former Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ablekuma North constituency took to her official TikTok page to share a video of herself having a fun moment with her son inside their plush residence.
In the video, Sheila Bartels burst into the living room with joy as her son played with his smartphone while relaxing on their couch.
The politician got her tall son up on his feet as she sang the four-time Grammy award-winning American singer, June Deniece Williams’ 1984 classic, Let’s Hear It for the Boy.
Sheila Bartels joyfully danced along to the song and continued to bother her son, who later flashed a smile after initially looking uninterested in participating in the fun activity with his mother.
The former Ablekuma North MP’s sighting with her son marked a rare public appearance for the mother and son.
The video of Sheila Bartels showing off her son inside their plush residence is below:
