The Southern Youth Movement (SYM), has called on Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to run for Lagos State Governor in the 2027 elections.
The appeal was made on January 24, 2025, in a statement by the group’s National President, High Chief Promise Lawuru.
SYM highlighted Seyi Tinubu’s qualifications, emphasizing his deep connection to Lagos and his ability to meet constitutional requirements.
The group vowed to mobilize support across southern Nigeria, advocating for increased youth participation in governance.
“Seyi Tinubu is qualified to be governor in all ramifications,” the statement read.
The group dismissed age as a barrier, praising Seyi’s digital expertise and potential to address Lagos’ contemporary challenges.
They urged Lagosians to assess Seyi’s capabilities independently of his family ties, noting his contributions to youth inclusion in governance, including appointments of young leaders in key national positions.
SYM reaffirmed their mission to support capable youth leaders across southern Nigeria while collaborating with elder statesmen for mentorship.
“Youths with capable hands shall take center stage in governance come 2027 and beyond,” they declared.
