NigeriaLagos 2027: Tinubu, Gbajabiamila, Obasa, Others Top List for Plum Job

Though the race for Lagos State governorship is still two years away, the gladiators are already girding their loins in readiness for a battle royale. Political stakeholders and groups across the state of aquatic splendour are already rooting for their preferred candidates.

Among the names already generating buzz are Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the president and former Speaker of the House of Representatives; Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly and other heavyweights.

But ahead of the election, the importance of the IBILE factor in Lagos has come to the fore like never before. Lagos is organised into five istrative districts, collectively called IBILE, namely Ikorodu, Badagry, Ikeja, Lagos Island, and Epe.

Society Watch reliably gathered that the political kingmakers in the state, particularly in the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC), are already having sleepless nights on the best way out of the seemingly difficult task of picking the best candidate.

While Gbajabiamila’s sterling record as a seasoned legislator, rising to become the Speaker of the House of Representatives and Chief of Staff to the president put him head and shoulder above the others, his age has become a factor. Gbajabiamila will be 64 in 2027, and reportedly seen to be ‘too old’ to govern a state so “complex and fast-moving like Lagos.”

However, his ers are upbeat about his chances and are said to be banking on his close ties to the president and long-standing political experience, which they believe make him a strong contender for the plum job.

Aside from being the son of the president, not much has been said about the istrative experience of Seyi. But for his large crowd of ers, he remains the best to bring the dreams of the founding fathers of Lagos state to fruition. It was gathered that a Seyi Tinubu-Mudashiru Obasa’s ticket is presently gaining momentum among political stakeholders in the state.

A source who pleaded anonymity claimed the re-instalment of Obasa as speaker of the state assembly after he was removed by his colleagues is part of the larger puzzle to fall into place.

According to the source, Seyi as the governorship candidate and Obasa as his deputy would be viewed as a formidable youthful ticket that will appeal to Lagosians.

“Seyi Tinubu may look so young, but he’s of age and experience to govern Lagos State,” the source said.

As the time ticks slowly towards 2027, the unfolding drama in Lagos politics will surely reset and redefine the political landscape and set a new tone for the future of Nigeria’s most strategic state.

Lol

Lagos state has become a family heritage. Emilokan

PS. It's so sad that we are now obsessed with 2027 elections when we have two more years to go. That means the folks up there have no intention of making things better. They are just interested in their tummies. Sad.

Who’s posting this non sen se 😏

Sheyi should chill abeg, plus who is Obasa or you mean Obatala?

Abeg make Una rest, we will know the person when the time comes.

Peace ✌️

Rubbish made up list.

IS Seyi a politician? Did he tell you that he's running for Governor?
Na so una go start yeye rumor then when it doesn't work out, you will make up another lie to cover that one.

Rubbish, how can seyi Even be in the picture, is tinubu not thinking

Insane Politicians...
How can a sitting president's son contest for governorship in his state.

These politicians trying to manipulate and infused laws and policies to the masses in there favour.

Nigerian should wake up and stand against this bunch of greedy politicians

Baba so pe politics!

Some won’t sleep tonight especially when Seyi is involved .

Badexx:

SO it's Tinubu's fault that some attention-seeking lazy clown is attaching his son's name to a fake news?

Omo, these Nigerian youths self don tire me...

Give us Seyi. Seyi has Igbo blood plus the wife.
Alausa house must be filed up with redcap Ohaneze G boys.

Seyi or nothing!

Lagos belongs to Igbos!

Seyi 2027

Wisdom should tell them that Seyi can't be Lagos State governor while PBAT is still in office.
No amount of rigging will make him win Lagos State. It's only a wishful thinking.
Seyi should focus on his business if truly he has one. Not all this make believe syndrome.

Trash Obidense childish rumor.

Lagosians will decide at the polls

Lagos

I reckon Gbaja will take over that Tinubu family house in 2027...!

Seyi will have to await his turn maybe while serving as a commissioner for Finance or special adviser.

All these fake news sef. Who ever came up with the article will be better off writing romance or fictional novels.

None of them will eventually become the governor. Lagos Governor like usual will come from the technocrat class and not politicians.

Give it to Gbajabiamila 😘

Seyi is not contesting, I don’t like Gbaja, of the 3 listed, I’d prefer Obasa though my choice would be Tokunbo Wahab.

Immigrant keep dreaming

None of them will be used. Quote me

Who is obasa in the scheme of things as lahos governorship aspirants, so because he has been in house for long, it means he will be given the slot?

They will rather give hamzat instead of obasa...

Obasa ko, obatala ni

Gbajabiamila should have learnt from his boss Tilumbu and reduce 15 years from his age before entering politics.It is too late now that the whole world already knows he is 64.If not , he could have claimed he is only 49 just like Tilumbu claims he is 73 & some idiots actually believe.

How many time are we are going to talk about this same topic? Why recycling this sams topic over and over biko?

Only today alone if its not Seyi it will be Tinubu you people are the real one making it look like Tinubu actually owned the country e come be like dem employ some people never to rest unless dey mention Tinubu or Seyi.

Anyway I stand with Tinubu anyday anytime.

Baba will pick the next governor and we will be happy with his decision. Anybody from one village or the other, or the slaves from Brazil and Ivory Coast who are not happy with Baba’s choice should present his own father to contest against Baba’s candidate

Obasa is their daddy.

TUANKU:
Obasa is their daddy.

Okay.

Haven’t you noticed that Baba has been selecting Technocrats as governors? Obasa is a street tout nah, he is our brother and we are very pleased with him, but Baba will never put Lagos in the hands of a street tout
