Seyi Tinubu Free to Contest in 2027, Even Against His Father – Seyi Tinubu
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, has said that the president’s son, Seyi Tinubu, is qualified to run for any political office in Nigeria — including challenging his father in the 2027 general election.
Speaking on The Clarity Zone podcast posted on YouTube Wednesday, Bwala dismissed claims that Seyi’s political rise is tied solely to his father’s influence. He argued that Nigerians should assess him based on personal interactions rather than inherited perceptions.
According to Bwala, Seyi has earned a reputation as a bridge-builder among young people and is regarded as humble and unassuming despite his privileged background.
“If Seyi Tinubu’s father is the president, what stops him from running for Lagos State governor? Seyi Tinubu can even challenge his father in the next election,” Bwala said.
