A wave of dissent is sweeping across Lagos as youths in the state express strong opposition to the endorsement of Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the governorship position in the 2027 elections.
The move to back Seyi Tinubu’s candidacy has been met with criticism from youth groups who argue that governance should not be treated as a family affair or a means to perpetuate political dynasties. Social media platforms have been abuzz with hashtags and posts rejecting the endorsement, with many calling for fresh leadership that prioritizes merit and inclusivity.
Youth leaders across Lagos have emphasized the need for a candidate with proven competence and a track record of public service rather than political connections. They have also raised concerns about the influence of “godfatherism” in Lagos politics, urging voters to stand against entrenched interests.
Political analysts suggest the rejection highlights a broader demand for accountability and genuine representation among Lagos’ younger electorate. The development signals a potentially challenging path ahead for any candidate relying solely on endorsements rather than grassroots support.
As the 2027 election season approaches, all eyes will be on how Lagos’ political landscape unfolds amidst this growing call for change.
