Joe Igbokwe Rejects Seyi Tinubu As Potential Lagos Governor

A prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has expressed strong disapproval of calls for Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, to run for governor of Lagos State in 2027.

In a Facebook post, Igbokwe criticized those pushing for Seyi Tinubu’s candidacy, describing their actions as a distraction and an attempt to undermine President Tinubu’s administration.

The APC chieftain argued that governing Lagos requires significant experience and capability, saying it is not a task for “boys.”

“Who are these faceless people pushing Seyi Tinubu for Lagos Governor? This is a needless distraction. To pull PBAT [President Bola Ahmed Tinubu] down is their target. Please allow PBAT to do his very engaging and tasking job. Ruling Lagos is not the job of boys,” Igbokwe wrote.

His comments come amid growing speculation and reports of a potential gubernatorial bid by Seyi Tinubu, a development that has sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians.
