Seyi Tinubu, the 39-year-old son of President Bola Tinubu, has reportedly dismissed rumors suggesting that he is eyeing the governorship seat of Lagos State in 2027.
Sources close to the businessman revealed that he has no intention of running for office and that the speculation surrounding his candidacy is baseless.
Rumors about Tinubu’s political future gained traction following a series of public endorsements from various groups, leading some to believe he may be a contender in the next gubernatorial race.
However, one source emphasized that Seyi Tinubu has not communicated any such ambition to anyone, describing the claims as “usual stories” that resurface every four years, often propagated by those with personal agendas.“Seyi Tinubu is a businessman and has no ambition whatsoever to become Lagos State governor now or in the nearest future.
In the past, he has splashed several millions of naira on charity and the less privileged.
Contrary to the thinking in some quarters that his philanthropic gesture over time is politically motivated, it is not true.
It is his own humble way of appreciating God for His mercies in his life,” the source said.“He is naturally a man given to giving.
He doesn’t need to be involved in such acts to gain relevance, politically.
Truth be told, Seyi’s love for humanity knows no bounds, and he spares no expense to translate this in several ways,” the source added.
