Seyi Tinubu, the son of Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is reportedly gearing up to contest the governorship of Lagos State in the next election cycle.
This development has sparked intense political discussions, with many seeing it as a continuation of the Tinubu family’s deep-rooted influence in the state’s politics.
Seyi Tinubu, a prominent entrepreneur and philanthropist, has steadily gained recognition in Lagosian circles through his youth engagement initiatives and charity work.
While he has not officially declared his candidacy, insiders suggest that consultations with political stakeholders are already underway.
Critics argue that Seyi’s potential bid reflects a growing trend of political dynasties dominating Nigeria’s leadership landscape, while supporters contend that his background and exposure uniquely position him to lead the state.
If confirmed, Seyi Tinubu’s candidacy could reshape the political dynamics of Lagos, further cementing his family's legacy in Nigerian politics.
Will Lagosians embrace this political lineage, or will they demand fresh faces to steer the state’s future? The coming months will tell.
