A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Joe Igbokwe, has slammed youth groups calling on Seyi, son of President Bola
Tinubu, to run for governor of Lagos state in 2027.
Igbokwe, in a post on his Facebook page, said this
situation is a distraction and an attempt to pull Tinubu down.
He further stated that ruling a state like Lagos is
not a job for ‘boys.’
He wrote, “Who are these faceless people pushing Seyi
Tinubu for Lagos Governor? This is a needless distraction. To pull PBAT down is
their target. Please allow PBAT to do his very engaging and tasking job. Ruling
Lagos is not the job of boys?
Meanwhile, as Lagos approaches the 2027 gubernatorial
race, two prominent figures, Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat and House Speaker
Mudashiru Obasa, have emerged as the leading contenders.
Both bring a wealth of political experience, a deep
understanding of Lagos’s power structures, and considerable influence within
the state.
Obafemi Hamzat carries a strong political pedigree,
being the son of the late Oba Mufutau Hamzat, a founding member of the
influential Justice Forum.
This legacy, combined with his own reputation, has
cemented his position as a formidable candidate with a loyal support base.
Mudashiru Obasa, on the other hand, derives his
strength from his extensive grassroots connections and political resilience.
As Lagos’s longest-serving Speaker, he has navigated
numerous political hurdles and emerged unscathed, earning respect across local
communities.
