Debate Heats Up: Joe Igbokwe Challenges Calls for Seyi Tinubu’s 2027 Candidacy
APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe has criticized youth groups advocating for Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to contest for the position of Lagos State Governor in 2027.
Igbokwe emphasized that ruling Lagos is not “a job for the boys,” implying that leadership in the state requires substantial experience, competence, and capacity.
In his remarks, Igbokwe, a staunch APC supporter and former spokesperson for the Lagos State chapter of the party, urged the youth to focus on more meaningful endeavors rather than lobbying for individuals who might not have the requisite qualifications or experience to lead a complex and dynamic state like Lagos.
He expressed concerns about turning governance into a family affair or promoting candidates based solely on their lineage.
This statement reflects the growing discourse around potential political aspirations of Seyi Tinubu, who has gained visibility in recent years due to his involvement in social and business circles.
However, critics and observers continue to debate the merits and challenges of his rumored political ambitions.
