The 2027 Lagos governorship race is heating up with emerging contenders sparking debate across political circles. Among the notable names, Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, and Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, are seen as potential frontrunners.
Seyi Tinubu has garnered endorsements from groups like the Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders, citing his leadership qualities and the political legacy of his father. However, this has also fueled criticism, with some arguing against the perceived establishment of a “Tinubu dynasty.” On the other hand, Obasa, with his deep grassroots connections and long-standing political experience, has positioned himself as a strong contender. He has dismissed allegations of self-serving ambitions and emphasized his readiness to lead the state effectively
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has attempted to downplay the speculation, stating that the 2027 election is not yet a priority. The party also attributed some of the political buzz to opposition efforts to stir controversy.
