Chief Obidike Chukwuebuka, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has asserted that Seyi Tinubu, the son of Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will transform Lagos into a world-class city comparable to Dubai.

He voiced support for Seyi Tinubu’s alleged governorship ambition and noted that critics will live to see him achieve it.

As reported by The Guardian on Friday, March 28, this followed an endorsement of Seyi Tinubu for the governorship seat by the Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders (CONYL).

According to the coalition, Seyi Tinubu is the ideal candidate for the seat in 2027. Obidike said:

“Seyi Tinubu is a capable and competent individual who will focus on key areas such as infrastructure development, economic growth, and social welfare. His vision aligns with the APC’s goals of promoting progress and prosperity for all Nigerians.”

Amid the debate about who succeeds Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Seyi Tinubu is yet to declare an ambition to takeover from the helm of affairs in Lagos state in 2027.

Why Seyi Tinubu's governorship ambition would likely suffer

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Seyi Tinubu continued to generate reactions from concerned Nigerians, with the recent endorsement to be the next Lagos state governor.

Bisi Afolabi, a legal practitioner, in an exclusive interview with Legit.ng maintained that Seyi Tinubu had the right to contest, and those endorsing him were still within the frame of the law.

However, Afolabi posited that the governorship ambition of Seyi Tinubu may suffer the same fate as that of Adetokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu, the first daughter of the late Obafemi Awolowo.
