The Minister for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, has backed President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi to become the next governor of Lagos State.
Olawande said Seyi Tinubu is well-qualified to govern Lagos State.
The minister while featuring on the Mic On podcast with Seun Okinbaloye, addressed the growing rumours surrounding Seyi’s potential run for governor of Lagos State in 2027.
He noted that Seyi was a committed individual with a proven track record of assisting the youths before his father became President.
Olawande said: “He’s not too young to become a governor.
“Seyi is not the one engineering the campaign to become the next governor of Lagos State.”
Groups like the Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders, CONYL, among others have endorsed Seyi to replace Babajide Sanwo-Olu in 2027.
Meanwhile, the lawmakers of the Lagos State House of Assembly have impeached Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker.
Obasa’s impeachment has been linked to his alleged 2027 governorship ambition.
